Movie-Last Life in the Universe

Last Life in the Universe is Thai film, starring many Japanese. It is a love story of sorts, a gangster film of sorts and a strange head trip of sorts. And I can't say that I really liked it, though it was interesting and unusual.

Focusing on an uptight Japanese man living in Bangkok, who dreams of ways to kill himself, the movie meanders a into his meeting with a Thai bar girl. Both have little to live for, and yet seem to genuinely fall for each other. Or do they? Who is he really interested in, this girl or her dead sister?

It is a really odd movie, which at times I liked quite a bit, and at other times did not like much at all.
