Happy Together | 1997 | Wong Kar Wai | Hong Kong | Tuesday, May 21, 7:00 - 11:00pm
春光乍洩 | 1997 | 王家衛 | 5月21日晚上七點到十一點
A couple takes a trip to Argentina in search of a new beginning, but instead finds themselves drifting even further apart. Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong—when the country’s LGBTQ community suddenly faced an uncertain future—Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that is by turns devastating and deliriously romantic.
