Enter the Void (2009)
After a drug deal gone bad, Oscar (Nathaniel Brown) lies dead on the bathroom floor. Now, his spirit glides through Tokyo watching his sister, Linda (Paz de la Huerta), and the rest of his bottom-dwelling expat crew as they deal with the aftermath of his death. Tokyo's nasty underside, seen primarily through the eyes of Oscar, a heavy drug user, whose sister Linda is a stripper. Oscar also has flashbacks to his childhood when trauma upends the siblings. Oscar's drug-fed hallucinations alter Tokyo's already-disconcerting nights, and after the police shoot him, he can float above and look down: on his sister's sorrow, on the rooms of a love hotel, and on life at even a molecular level. The spectrum's colors can be beautiful; it's people's colorless lives that can be ugly. And what of afterlife, is there more than a void?
