What they share

Both films are directed by Eiji Uchida, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lowlife Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Topless is

Here we have a film about the complexities of modern love, or at least the complexities of being recently dumped. Natsuko deals with heartbreak by having a series of affairs, which is going fine until her ex announces she's marrying a man. Inconsolability ensues, as it tends to do in these situations.
