Come see Happy Together presented on 35mm film on the big screen in L3!

The misty cascading waterfall. The lighthouse at the end of the world. Hong Kong turned upside down. These are the magical images Wong Kar-wai presents as the backdrop to his Buenos Aires-set gay love story about two men who very much aren’t happy together, yet become even unhappier apart. If you’ve seen a Wong Kar-wai film before, you’ll be familiar with his style here, with lonely emotional beats emphasised by iconic music choices. Christopher Doyle’s slowed-down-sped-up cinematography casts a whole new light on the world and the profound poetics found in the everyday. Even if Happy Together is more uncomfortably self-loathing and less romantic than films like Chungking Express and In The Mood For Love, it is still beautiful and life-affirming in spite of that. The characters in this film are complicated and messy. They share a type of love and feelings so hard-to-define which few filmmakers are capable of representing, and yet Wong Kar-wai captures this effortlessly. And you’ll never guess which song will get stuck in your head after watching this... [Daniel Kallin]
