Not happy and not necessarily together, lovers
Fai (Tony Leung) and Ho
Po-Wing (the late Leslie Cheung), arrive in Buenos Aires from Hong
Kong
at the time of Hong Kong’s return to China, hoping to make
a fresh start.
As aliens stranded in a foreign land, Happy Together asks how the
two will
survive, together or apart, against a backdrop of dislocation which
ultimately
leads to them settling old scores with their parents and their homeland.
The first in our series, My Favourite Asian Film, will be introduced
by Roger
Clarke, film columnist and critic for the Independent Newspaper
since 1999.
He has written for all the major newspapers and reviews and writes
lead
features for Sight & Sound. In January 2005 he was on the jury
of the BBC4
World Cinema Awards chaired by Jonathan Ross. He is currently writing
the
Rough Guide to World Cinema and is a published poet, short story
writer
and librettist.
