Happy Together is about Lai and Ho, two handsome guys from Hong-Kong (Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung, two actors of true star quality) who have gone to Argentina to follow their desire. A sex scene tells us immediately that these two men on holiday are lovers, and their Argentinian adventure has all the hallmarks of a reunion, an attempt to a new start. The two men leave each other then get back together... As such, one may consider Happy Together as a sort of report on a domestic dispute, along with its characteristic moments of immense tendernesses and truly horrendous fuckups. A magnificent film, one of the most beautiful in the world when it comes to the topic of homosexuality. A haunting piece that leaves us asking the only truly relevant question: how can we be happy together?
