Happy Together

 

Meetup Structure
!

1: Meet at the lobby of the theater with other members prior to the screening. Meet across from the main bar when you first walk in.

2: If you missed or arrived late then meet the Event Host who will wait for all the participants to converge in the lobby after the screening at the same spot.


3: The group will proceed to the designated hangout space for the discussion.

Directed by: Wong Kar-Wai
1997, 96min/color, DCP

One of the most searing romances of the 1990s, Wong Kar Wai’s emotionally raw, lushly stylized portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up, make up, and fall apart again and again.
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 queer community suddenly faced an uncertain future—Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that’s by turns devastating and deliriously romantic.

There is a double feature showing this night, so this ticket gets you into both films. I will only be attending Happy Together at 7pm. Please note this screening is at The Paramount Theatre.
