HAPPY TOGETHER (1997)

Another remarkable story by Kar-wai Wong that depicts two men on a trip to Argentina where they get stranded due to financial difficulties and their turbulent relationship.  In their relationship they have acquired a certain dependency upon each other, which seems to be emotionally, financially, and physically draining on them both.  Despite this abusive relationship, their co-dependency forces them back together and the circle seems to be sealed forever, until one of men meets another man who has the ability to listen.  Happy Together is a film about everything in a relationship except being happy together, which provides an emotionally apprehensive cinematic experience that can be compared to Ingmar Bergman's pictures.
