The 1997 Wong Kar-wai film Happy Together (春光乍洩), originally supposed to play last week as part of the ReelQ Film Festival, will instead play on October 26 at the City of Asylum's Alphabet City on the North Side and online.
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 Chiu Wai and Leslie Cheung Kwok Wing 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.The show runs from 7:00 to 8:30 pm, both in person at Alphabet City (map) or online. It's free but registration is required.
