...film making before anything? Keep it true to art? be idealistic? have a constant way of life? or be some kind of hopeless guy that do not know another way to live than give a damn about anything? This movie has all these premises and more. Also has very classic camera movements and solid low budget cinematography. You will see rookie actors; aspirants; old lowbrow glories; yakuza; all mixed in a parallel world of filming. Most actors want to play lead rolls or shine a bit in a well produced movie; now here all they are at the bottom so they are trying hard; some with their acting talent; some seducing; some utilizing the power that they have; all trying to succeed in a very difficult industry that devours all your dreams if your a naive. Is a battle; you win or you lose forever.

Very good song and great finale.

This is really not very happy. I realise that this is titled as Lowlife Love but this is not at all as I imagined. What we soon have are a low level filmmaking people either porno or very small budget films which we in UK do not really have. The thing in Japan there is clearly a very good chance to make a film but at the same time some of the actors, especially young girls. So, not only 'lowlife' but people who take maybe as might be detestable characters and this simply may be exploitation and degradation, which it looks like here.
