Happy Together

My first Wong Kar-Wai. I know I’m about to fuck with his movies hard. Gorgeously lit and composed with amazing performances and a beautiful original score. I think it drags a bit at points and I really didn’t love the narration, giving major blade runner theatrical cut vibes with this bored sounding voice over that only serves to over explain what we can already surmise ourselves. Really doesn’t fit the film, for what is mostly an understated and quiet story about people who struggle to communicate. Regardless this was a really touching and special film. Leslie Cheung is very very hot.
