Ashes of Time 《東邪西毒》 (1994)

“When you can’t have someone, the only thing you can do is not to forget.”
“當你不能再擁有的時候，唯一可以做的，就是令自己不要忘記。”

A Jin Yong adaptation, Wong Kar-wai-style. Structured with the concept of cyclical repetition from the Chinese almanac, the auteur’s impressionistic riff on the classic wuxia novel The Eagle-Shooting Hero is a desert-bound swordplay drama whose only concern seems to be its characters’ sentimental longings.
這是一部根據金庸小說改編、帶有濃厚王家衛風格的電影。影片以中國黃歷中循環的時間概念為構架，導演對經典武俠小說《射雕英雄傳》的即興重復頗具印象派風格，集中表現了沙漠中俠客們的情感與渴望。
