- Program Abstract: Shot in Mainland China, this perversely lavish, self-consiously new wave martial arts film… is a langorous, sultry, sensuous action reverie. Accpmpanied by wailing flutes or solo electric guitar, it's set in a desert wilderness populated by a gang of anst ridden, lovelorn swordsmen-for-hire. Ashes of Time is mostly anticipation with sudden inexplicable episodes of slo-mo zap blurs of martial art tumult as well as mystically conguent earthquakes and geysers.
