Happy Together + Fallen Angels

Two by Wong Kar-wai in this program: First up, a depressing gay-breakup movie that replaces powerful romantic yearning with endless squabbling—the kind that, rather than engendering your sympathy, merely finds you waving your hand in a circular get-on-with-it gesture. The second feature is an extension of Wong's Chungking Express, a brooding drama that has energy in spades. Frame for vivid frame, it’s among the most visually arresting pictures ever made.
