One of the strongest romances of the 1990s, Wong Kar Wai’s raw, lush portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up, make up, and fall apart again and again.
Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong—when the country’s LGBTQ community suddenly faced an uncertain future—Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that is by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color, Happy Togetheris an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes.
“Thanks largely to the raw bravery and intensity of the two leads’ performances, Happy Together takes a quantum leap forward in terms of visceral power.” — The Austin Chronicle
Starring: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Faye Wong
Director: Wong Kar Wai
Rating: Rated PG-13
