Based around a group of expats in Tokyo, the story follows Oscar and his sister Linda. One night Oscar, who is a small time drug dealer, gets caught up with the police and killed as a result. However, he is determined to keep his promise to his sister that he would never leave her. Therefore the film focuses upon the world through the spirit of Oscar and is told in a rather distorted and psychedelic fashion. We get to see how each character is affected by the death of Oscar all based around the underlining theme of life after death. A truly original piece and well worth seeing albeit at nearly three hours long it is a little long. It’s certainly not for everyone but I enjoyed it nonetheless. 4/5 stars.
