Sitting on a sofa on a sunday afternoon.

I am really excited to see this. Yes, I do believe Irreversible (the film Noe is most famous for) is an overrated piece of moviemaking. However, I loved loved LOVED “I Stand Alone”, an earlier work which is far more superior, and far more disturbing and far more affecting than the Monica Belluci-rapefest known as Irreversible.

Now Noe is back with a new film, and I am actually looking forward to seeing this one.

Oscar and his sister Linda are recent arrivals in Tokyo. Oscar’s a small time drug dealer, and Linda works as a nightclub stripper. One night, Oscar is caught up in a police bust and shot. As he lies dying, his spirit, faithful to the promise he made his sister ­ that he would never abandon her - refuses to abandon the world of the living. It wanders through the city, his visions growing evermore distorted, evermore nightmarish. Past, present and future merge in a hallucinatory maelstrom.
