Abstract | Award-winning Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's movie Happy Together, a film about a homosexual relationship, could not be given a public screening at Pusan festival, as it had been banned in Korea. Ironically, another Hong Kong gay film, A Queer Story and Taiwan movie, The River, which features a controversial scene of incest between father and son, were screened in Pusan. |
