[情報] 鹿特丹國際電影節的致敬
http://www.filmfestivalrotterdam.com/en/film/2608.html
To pay homage to Leslie Cheung (1956-2003), the festival is screening
Wong Kar-wai's melancholy martial arts classic, in which the inn keeper
Cheung meets lots of swordfighters in the desert.
***
In 2003, Leslie Cheung, 46 years old, committed suicide by jumping off
the roof of the famous Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong. The actor had
worked since his breakthrough in John Woo's A Better Tomorrow (1986) with
many great Chinese directors such as Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Wong Kar-wai.
As an homage to one of the most elegant and sensitive actors from the rich
film history of Hong Kong, the festival is screening Ashes of Time from 1994.
Leslie Cheung was not the only star to take part in this martial arts
spectacle (à la Wong), in view of the names of Doyle (camera), Hung (martia
l arts choreographer) and both Tony Leungs on the credits. The story is set
around an inn in the desert run by Ouyang (Cheung), once the best horse
thief in the world. But since he lost his lover to his brother, he is bitter
and cynical. He observes the world around him and sees the often sad life
stories of his guests, looking for love and lovers. As in all the films by
Wong, the tone is melancholy or even pessimistic -hence also the fact that
Cheung fitted in so well. But the flair, the precision and the beauty with
which Wong films make our renewed acquaintance with Ashes of Time an
overwhelming emotional experience.
