Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: It definitely comes across as ''some'' sort of successor to ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'', featuring the same kind of exploratory existentialism and drawn-out, trippy sequences. It's even harder to sit through due to the addition of [[WretchedHive general human degeneracy]] and [[FreudWasRight psychosexual issues]], however.

* TheWoobie: Linda. She lost her parents at a young age and was then separated from her brother for years until Oscar raised enough money for her to come live with him in Tokyo. From there Oscar gets her into the drugs he's dealing and she ends up working as a stripper. She loves her brother in spite of the terrible influence he is and tries to get him to move on from that life to no avail. And then Oscar gets killed after he is ratted to the police by Viktor. Throughout the film, we can see (from Oscar's POV) how destroyed she is and how she gets worse as time passes.

* JerkassWoobie: The main character himself, Oscar. He is a drug dealer, a terrible influence for his sister, regularly ignores his friend Alex's advices to improve his life, had sex with the mother of one of his clients and in general is not a nice person. But he's clearly had a tough life, starting with the death of his parents when he was a child and being separated from his sister for years. His fate was completely his fault, but that doesn't make it any less tragic
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: A mild one when Linda tells Victor to go kill himself. Normally it would count as a KickTheDog moment, but given how Victor tried to lay some of the blame on her for her brother's death, it's hard not to cheer her on.

* TheWoobie: Linda. She loses her parents at young age and is then separated from her brother during years, until Oscar raises enough money for her to come live with him on Tokyo. There Oscar drives her on the drugs and she ends up being a stripper after she catches the attention and gets into a relationship with the owner of the strip club she works, Mario. She loves her brother in spite of the terrible influence he is and tries to get him to move on from that life, to no vail. And then Oscar gets killed after he is ratted to the police by Viktor. Throughout the film we can see (from Oscar's POV) how much destroyed she is and how she gets worse as time goes on.
** Alex wasn't a clean person, but he clearly cared about both Oscar and Linda and tried to encourage Oscar to leave his life as drug dealer. Despite his flaws, he is a good person who wants the best for his friend and move on a better life. After Oscar is killed he is forced to be in the run from the cops, becoming homeless and regretful of Oscar's fate. It's hard to not feel bad for him after everything he goes through.
