Wong Kar-Wai reminisces 'Ashes' in Toronto

Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai talks about a new cut of his 1994 wuxia film "Ashes of Time" at a press conference during the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2008. "Ashes of Time Redux," which won rave reviews at this year's Cannes film festival, is among five Chinese-language films being screened in Toronto. Others include Jia Zhangke's Cannes Golden Palm-nominated "24 City" and Yu Lik-Wai's "Plastic City," a Golden Lion competitor at last week's Venice film festival. The annual Toronto festival is widely considered by filmmakers as a warm-up to the Oscars. This year it runs September 4-13. [Photo: China Foto Press/yule.sohu.com]
