This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.
The film begins with a rather explicit lovemaking scene between the two, after which Po Wing abandons Yui Fai, when both are touring Argentina on a holiday. Without enough money to return to Hong Kong, the former turns into a philanderer and soon, hooks up with multiple men, often bringing them to the same bar where Yui Fai finds employment. One day, a very drunk Yui Fai lands up at Po Wing’s room and in a fit of violent rage, expresses his regret about their failed relationship. Po Wing doesn’t relent, until one day, bleeding profusely, he comes back to him, suggesting that they both start over again, on a fresh note. With a bit of resistance, Yui Fai relents. However, things don’t remain that way for long.

I find this movie far more engaging than Brokeback Mountain. Although BB had performances one could relate to, thanks to their focus on families, Wong kar wai makes the theme look more universal.
