Happy Together is one of those movies you see and feel it for days after. There is something very true about it. the film itself is hard to describe accruately. It is a love story, kinda. One of the most interesting things is that it takes place not at the beginning of the relationship where the two meet, are struck by a powerful feeling and overcme obstacles to be together. In this movie we don't see that. It is the middle of the relationship- maybe the end, and though thuings are not smooth love and need are obvious in the two male leads. The lead characters are Chinese, I think, but the film takes place in South America. The cinematography is startling and stark. It's unlike any movie I'd seen before. At the end I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but I was sure I felt something and, as I said it was on my mind for days afterward.

It's not appropriate for classrooms. Drinking, swearing, sex none of it gratuitous. The lead characters are gay, and I think it would be too heavy or just incomprehensible to younger audiences.
