Trivia:
Many of the scenes in this movie was shot using a "doggy-cam" which is a reversed steadicam that is attached to the actors to create that very special effect while they are moving/running. A similar device was also used in Requiem for a Dream (2000). moreQuotes:
Tilde: If you don't stop shooting up, Thomas, you'll die.Steso: No, I don't. I won't die. The drugs are keeping me alive.
Tilde: You need to take a break, or you'll die.
Steso: You're my break. It's you.

By that, I don't mean Maria, Allan and Steso (Thomas) who were meant to be the three main characters. I mean Maria, Allan and Hossein. All the way through, I was hoping for Steso to get more interesting or more involved in the slowly interconnecting story. At the same time, I was straining to learn more about Hossein, the Persian war veteran with enough self-esteem to share.
As an English-speaker, I could not help compare this film with *Trainspotting*. It is a very 'f*** life' philosophy and comments more than once on the bourgeois and their habits.
I also could not help but compare the camera-work with that of *Requeim for a Dream*. David Stratton would hate it: rushy and giddy - but I like that sort of thing. There was no stop-motion that I remember.
I did like the sound-track, but I may be biased because the lyrics were often in English.
