HAPPY TOGETHER
36
A Wong Kar-Wai Film

A Story About Reunion

cast : Leslie Cheung Kwok-Wing,
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai,
Chang Chen

Lovers who are happy together are all the same. Lovers whose relationship falls apart are all different, unique in the ways they inflict emotional tortures on themselves and each other. Lai Yiu-Fai and Ho Po-Wing were in love when they arrived in Argentina from Hong Kong. But something went wrong while they were driving south in search of adventures. One day, on the road, Ho Po-Wing walked away from his lover. Now Lai works as doorman at a tango bar in Buenos Aires. He is trying tko save enough for his air- ticket home.
When Ho re-enters his life, bruised and bleeding from a beating, he gives him a bed but refused to get back into a sexual relationship. Domesticity doesn't suit Ho, who is soon spending nights out on the town. Lai quits hisjob and starts working in the kitchen of a chinese restaurant, where he befriends Cgang, a kid from Taiwan. Without realising it, Lai begins tko fall in love with Chang. Meanwhile Ho's life continues to fall to pieces.
Director Statement
One of the reasons I went to Argentina to shoot this film is that i was tired of answering questions about the future of Hong Kong, now that we have reached 1997. I thought that going to the other side of the world would help me to escape these questions. But I found out that the further I went the more I looked back at Hong Kong. Maybe this film does have something to do with 1997 after all.
