Film Description
En route to tourist spot Iguaza Falls, a gay couple from Hong Kong are stranded in Buenos Aires, where they fall apart to a woozy tango rhythm. Displacement then gives way to arrival in the finale's dazzling rush. Wong Kar-Wai's lyrical poem to 'starting over' - personally and culturally - is woven into a weeping wound of entropic romance.

Funny how very few people in Malaysia truly understand and let alone watch Wong's movies. Our movie censors are busy people alright. Thematic and deeply moving, this movie shook the very core belief within me about homosexuality. Would anyone out there know how I can get my hands on the soundtrack? < less

This netted him a Best Director award at Cannes, and yet more praise for Chris Doyle's amazingly fluid camerawork. Working entirely outside his native country for the first time, the film tracks the stormy course of a gay relationship between two homesick Chinese in Buenos Aires who are all too often anything but happy together. "Happy Together is nothing less than a life affirming masterpiece" The Observer.

Was very impressed over the use of black and white images in among other colorful shots in the colorful world. The change of colors usually says a lot in the cinematic world. And in this movie, the director definitely depicts the characters' inner world with such color scheme.
I have watched this movie more than 20 times. And I am going to buy one for my music composer who has helped composed all the music for the short films and commercials I have directed.
Why this DVD? Because this is the best movie that really illustrates how music can strenghten the story telling.
The movie soundtrack for HAPPY TOGETHER is compelling and makes the images even more unforgettable than they already are.
It allows me to submerge myself in the characters' world and by doing so I create another dimension for myself. < less
