Title: Fish Out Of Water
Product review: There's no doubt that Wong Kar-Wai is a visionary director and accomplished storyteller. But Ashes of Time is to Wong Kar-Wai as Mallrats is to Kevin Smith, a slight blemish in an otherwise stellar career. Although Ashes of Time is a beautiful piece of film making and cinematography, it is an absolute turd of a movie. Jam packed with popular actors and pop stars who make Sophia Coppola look like an oscar winning actress, this film was in dire need of a few (major) script revisions. If Ashes of Time is the first Wong Kar-Wai film you've seen, don't write him off as a hack, Chungking Express, Fallen Angels and Happy Together are some of the best films to have come out of Hong Kong.
