Nimen hao!
It's Cindy.
Here are some clips of 'Ashes of Time' on utube.
If you are interested in this film, but can't make it from 10th of Oct to 14th of Oct, you can still have rough ideas about it.
As some people request the clips with English subtitle and Mandarin pronunciation, I found these clips that might suit your needs.
(so, you can hear some Chinese when watching the film... or even recognize the characters!)

This clip is very clear and with reasonable length.
It is in Chinese Mandarin with traditional character subtitle.
Some versions of ‘Ashes of Time ‘ is in Cantonese, as director Wong is from Hong Kong and many actors and actress, I would say most of them, are from HK.

This one is the official film trailer in HK.
Let me remind you that this film was made in 1994, so please don’t compare it with martial art films which were made recently.
Director Wang didn’t use much computer effects in ‘Ashes of Time’.
If you are interested in watching more clips, type in 'Ashes of Time' on utube, you will find more.
Basically, this is not a film talking about martial art only.
It talks about emotions of these main characters in the film.
Some choose to blind themselves when facing their true love; some have too many true loves and at the end, they have to forget everything to keep lives going; some can't let go, so they trap themselves, and live in hopelessness for the rest of their lives.
I haven't watched this film yet, but luckily Wang's fans put the dialogues on the internet so I have some ideas already before I get in cinema.
I will go to see the film on weekend as I am normally busy during weekdays.
So I might go either on Saturday 11th of Oct or Sunday 12th of Oct afternoon.
If this time is good for you, you are more than welcome to join me.
Also, if you would like to talk about this film, please feel free to drop me emails.
Zhu hao
Cindy
