Original promotional item from the 2019 Japanese revival screenings (not a reprint).
This rare handbill-style poster was issued for the 2019 Japanese theatrical re-release of Wong Kar Wai’s two iconic films—Happy Together (1997) and In the Mood for Love (2000). It features a double-sided design, each side highlighting the distinct emotional and visual worlds of the respective films.
The front side showcases Happy Together, with the unforgettable image of Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung in Buenos Aires—evoking a tender yet fractured intimacy that defines the film’s exploration of queer love and dislocation.
The reverse side shifts to In the Mood for Love, capturing Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung in the hushed streets and corridors of 1960s Hong Kong—subtle, restrained, and layered with unspoken longing.
Happy Together and In the Mood for Love represent two of Wong Kar Wai’s most defining cinematic achievements—both stylistically bold and emotionally resonant. This poster not only commemorates their return to theaters, but also highlights the duality of love across different identities, timelines, and continents.
