Hm... interesting movie on IFC.

Happy Together is a weird.. yet touching drama of two quarrelsome guys trying to be happy while living in Britian-controlled HongKong. It's rather sweet how the two treat eachother, from the sponge baths, to moving around the couch so they can sleep in a "bed" big enough for two (which happens to be flea infested and is in need of a good coat of Raid). Even when one of them gets sick and the other askes him to cook for him ("Are you crazy! Asking a sick man to cook for you...!"), he still does, if reluctant to as well.

Strangely enough, this is the first movie where I've seen two gay asian men in a loving (if not down-right emotionally abusive) relationship. Sure, The Wedding Banquet had a chinese and white couple (which is probably the type of pairing I'll find myself throughout my life), but... Well, I don't know what more to say.

Aw... the two are waltzing in the kitchen! How cute!
