In 1997, the film was shortlisted for the official competition of the 50th Cannes International Film Festival. Wong Kar-wai won the Best Director Award at the 50th Cannes International Film Festival for this film.

"Happy Together" is a representative example of Wong Kar-wai's extreme use of film language and lens aesthetics. The film uses strong colors and a soothing mood to depict a relationship between same-sex lovers in a foreign land. Wong Kar-Wai's delicate directorial skills vividly show the emotions of the two male protagonists on the verge of collapse. What is touching about this film is Wong Kar-wai's understanding and tolerance of human emotions. He is able to go to the end of the world because there is a place where he can go back.
