New York Times | By Scarlet Cheng
With this version of ASHES the director said, he hopes for a better reception than when the film was first released in 1994... "It's like a bottle of wine," said Mr. Wong, taking off his signature sunglasses over lunch recently in Los Angeles. "It needed time. Perhaps it's finally come of age." Especially since, he said, international audiences - now accustomed to more contemporary swordplay epics like CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON and HERO - have had their tastes elevated.

Live! will show viewers of The Apprentice that "you're fired" can have a very literal meaning. The wildly funny film has topicality, a zinger script, and, with Eva Mendes, a sexy comic actress working in its favour. Mendes, along with the notoriety of exploitation television, should make Live! easy to market as a comedy. The film's smart media critique could also corner the talking-heads market.

COLOURFUL CARMEN
A South African film version of Bizet's opera transcends racial boundaries and social context
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bangkok Post | By Kong Rithdee
When the curtain rises on this Africanised version of Carmen, we see not the boisterous Spanish streets of George Bizet's famous opera but the dusty sprawl of a shanty town in a South African suburb. The exotic, dreamlike vista of Bizet's Andalusia (accented by his buoyant music) is replaced here by the sense of realistic poverty. And even though the coloured Carmen maintains the reputation of her namesake by seducing young men with her siren songs, the social dimension of the setting - post-apartheid South Africa - gives Mark Dornford-May's film an earthly, de-exoticised texture unseen before in other film verions of Carmen.

PARK CITY -- "The Night Listener," based on Armistead Maupin's novel, plays like an Alfred Hitchcock thriller but is nevertheless a movie of ideas. It bristles with intriguing thoughts about the realm of fiction, how one loves, issues of identity and questions concerning how one transfers a real-life incident into big-screen fiction. This is a film that can crawl inside your skin.

A serial lover meditates on longing and the passing of time in Wong Kar-Wai's '2046.' "All memories are traces of tears," says Chow Mo Wan (Tony Leung) at the beginning of "2046," Wong Kar-Wai's long-awaited follow-up to "In the Mood for Love," and a gorgeous, fevered dream of a movie that blends recollection, imagination and temporal dislocation to create an emotional portrait of chaos in the aftermath of heartbreak.

IN "2046," a story of longing and loss, the passage of time is marked not by the hands of a clock, but by the women who pass through one man's life. The man in question, a newspaper hack, lives in a glorious ruin called the Oriental Hotel, where the thin walls shake violently from the sexual exertions of the clientele. A ladies' man given to vigorous wall-shaking, the writer turns a blind eye to the hotel's decrepitude even as he keeps its female guests fixed in his sights. In this ecstatically beautiful film, walls never tumble, only women do.
