Abstract
Wong Kar Wai often treats love in his films as an ephemeral vapour, a missed opportunity, a fleeting emotion that never acted upon becomes an ephemeral memory buried by time. In Happy Together (1997), however, he takes a different approach. Here, queer love represents not a form of fulfilment but a means to misery, as pathological and indeed dysfunctional. Wong's explorations of queer love are discussed at length in this essay.
