Tuesday Happenings

Still from Ashes of Time Redux.

-- Missed Wong Kar-wai's latest during its brief theatrical run? Ashes of Time Redux (2008) was Wong's attempt at a do-over, a remake of 1994's Ashes of Time, which was so confusing that nobody liked it. The new film is a tour de force, featuring kung fu choreography from Sammo Hung and cinematography from Christopher Doyle that will give you eyegasms. Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St., Cambridge. Tickets and showtimes.

-- Saunter over to the HFA and make it a Wong Kar-wai double feature. In the Mood for Love (2000), a Bostonist fave, might be Wong's most widely screened film, at least outside of China, and it made his reputation. A moody, lush meditation on love, lust, and infidelity that will make you instantly drop your panties. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., Cambridge, 7 p.m. Free.

Rock

-- Ohioans Heartless Bastards release a new record, The Mountain, today and celebrate by playing at Great Scott. The band's music is a dreamy combo of garage and bedroom rock with deep dark vocals. Great Scott, 1222 Comm Ave, Allston. 9pm, $12. (KS)

Jazz

-- If you aren't hip to Maria Schneider, there is enough time to act like you are. Among the most successful of the younger generation of big band leaders, Schneider's music sashays through the entire history of jazz but is weird enough to nudge the ineffable. David Friend Recital Hall, Berklee School of Music, 921 Boylston St., 7:30 p.m. Free.
