Happy Together - Lonely People Are All The Same

A turbulent gay romance unfolds in Buenos Aires between Lai Yiu-fai and Ho Po-wing, oscillating dramatically between passion and alienation. Captured in lush visuals that evoke displacement and longing, this is Wong Kar-wai’s most emotionally charged and visually poetic film.

一段在布宜诺斯艾利斯不断拉扯的男男关系,黎耀辉与何宝荣在激情与冷漠之间反复挣扎,浓烈而破碎。镜头下的异乡感与情感漂泊,使它成为王家卫最具情感张力与视觉诗意的作品之一。

“Wong’s commitment to the tedious nature of his film’s core romance highlights a key pillar of the 90s LGBTQ experience. Many of us know what it’s like to give partners significantly more chances than they deserve.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

“Beautifully photographed by Chris Doyle, the film’s gently understated metaphors of searching and exploration linger on.” (Financial Times)
