Best Japanese-punk-rock-zombie-alien-gay-love-story ever.
Just because it's not intelligent, it doesn't make it stupid. The absurdity is what makes it so enjoyable--even to connoisseurs of Japanese films (and after sitting through so many Yakuza/horror flicks, you'll need the reprieve).
And Guitar Wolf is amazing.

True, the movie is funny for many different reasons, but for me, the best thing about it is Lou Reed. Granted, I would consider any Lou Reed cameo the best part of any film, but in this particular case, he truly does steal the show. So funny, so deadpan (because, c'mon: it's Lou), and a great performance of "Little Sister" at the end. He still does Lou Reed better than anyone.
This movie really impressed me, because, as far as junkie flicks go, this one shows heroin addiction as the destructive force that it is. Though the characters do go through the "heroin chic" look for a bit, they soon turn scabby and purple. "Trainspotting," for all of its graphic scenes, didn't do half the job that this film did.
