In ‘Ash Is Purest White,’ a Chinese Bonnie and Clyde

Our critics review “The Aftermath,” which takes place after World War II, and tensions arise when a British colonel and his wife (Keira Knightley) must share a house with Germans; “Ash Is Purest White,” from Jia Zhangke, who is considered one of the best Chinese filmmakers of the last few decades; “The Mustang,” from French actor/director Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, and starring Matthias Schoenaerts as a prison inmate in a rehabilitation program that has convicts tame wild horses.
