The TVI Take
Wong Kar-wai's 1997 Buenos Aires-set film anchored by Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung as a Hong Kong gay couple whose dissolving relationship structures the film. The structural commitment to letting queer-coded protagonist register be the actual subject, at register 1990s Asian cinema had not previously supported at this scale, is the canonical Wong entry alongside In the Mood for Love.
