Regarded as one of the best LGBT movies of all time by critics and media alike, Happy Together (1997) earned Wong Kar-wai the Best Director at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival and is often cited a timeless classic that captures the melancholy of the loss of a relationship and identity crisis on the edge of Hong Kong’s handover to China. Caetano Veloso’s Cucurrucucu Paloma and Astor Piazzolla’s Tango Apasionado are eternally tied to the scenes in Argentina of the falling-apart lovers played by Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung with handpicked live recordings to accompany this well-loved soundtrack.

"Happy Together (Chinese: 春光乍洩)" is a 1997 Hong Kong romantic drama film directed by Wong Kar-wai starring Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu-wai, depicting a couple's turbulent romance. The English title is inspired by the Turtles' 1967 song of the same name, which is covered by Danny Chung on the film's soundtrack. The Chinese title (previously used for Michelangelo Antonioni's Blowup) is an idiomatic expression suggesting "the exposure of something intimate".

The film was regarded as one of the best LGBT films in the New Queer Cinema movement and received critical acclaims and screened at several film festivals such as the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival; it was nominated for the Palme d'Or and won Best Director at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.

In 2022, Happy Together was ranked the 225th greatest film of all time in the Sight & Sound critics' poll. In 2016, the film was ranked the 3rd greatest LGBT film of all time in the British Film Institute poll. In 2018, it was ranked the 71st greatest foreign-language film of all time in the BBC poll.
