Happy Together is a 1997 Hong Kong romantic drama film directed by Wong Kar-wai (王家衛) starring Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing (張國榮) and Tony Leung Chiu-wai (梁朝偉), 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 (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender) 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.[5][6][7]

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 (British Broadcasting Corporation) poll.

Lai Yiu-fai (Tony) and his boyfriend, Ho Po-wing (Leslie), arrive in Argentina from Hong Kong, seeking a better life. Their highly contentious gay relationship turns abusive and results in numerous break-ups and reconciliations. When Lai befriends another man, Chang (Chang Chen), he sees the futility of continuing with the promiscuous Ho. Chang, however, is on his own personal journey and, ultimately, both Lai and Ho find themselves far from home and desperately lonely.
