Review by Francesca on 25th August 2004

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.

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.

Review by katherinaj_park@graffiti.net on 12th January 2005

Funny how very few people in Malaysia truly understand and let alone watch Wong's movies. Our movie censors are busy people alright.

Sunday 12th December 2004

David Lynch once said that film-making is like building a bridge out of little glass strands, a metaphor that fits Wong Kar-Wai's work better than most. Not only does it combine apt impressions of poised delicacy and scintillating imagery, but it also reflects Wong'...  View article in full
