Reviewed for Cinemotion by Stephen O'Shea

After "Fallen Angels" and "Chungking Express," cult Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai demonstrates that his stylized alternative sensibility has remained unsullied by international acclaim. "Happy Together," shot by the uncompromising Christopher Doyle, is a patchwork of videotape, filtered 16-mm images, slow-motion shots, colorized sequences and just about anything else that editor Willaim Chang Suk-Ping can stitch together -- happily together -- into a 93-minute-long downtown curio.
