Cheun gwong tsa sit (Happy Together) A+++


Last night I watched the movie "Cheun gwong tsa sit" (English title- Happy Together) by Kar Wai Wong (2046, In the Mood for Love, etc) There aren't many movies that I can watch over and over again...but I watched this movie 3 times last night and once this morning already. It's the most beautiful, profound, and moving experience I've ever had watching a movie.
I wish I could give you some sort of plot summary, but it would sound too trite. I couldn't do it justice. Basically, it's about a gay couple living in Argentina and their tumultuous realtionship. It's everything that "Brokeback Mountain" should have been. Along with a tango score that makes me cry just thinking about it, and some of the most beautiful cimematic images ever put on screen, this movie has now made it to the top of my favorite movies of all time.
A+++
