Absolutely Fantastic

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

There's zero nudity in this very sweet film about being lesbian in contemporary Tokyo. Someone is going to argue that the title metaphorically refers to being emotionally topless, i.e., "baring your soul", because the film takes the risky approach, like millions of films do, of being about being human. Even though the film focuses on the loves and lives of its central lesbian characters it really speaks a universal language that heterosexual viewers can relate to as well--like having to deny your identity for the sake of marrying a man for security. Uh-huh. No. This film is about being lesbian. What's wrong with that? Look at the poster, it could be hot! "Topless" is refreshing and all that. Its themes of love and fear and politics and sadness are universal. Some of its plot points are a little 'diversitiste' though, like the young girl who comes to Tokyo with an anti-lesbian chip on her shoulder to look for her mother who abandoned her several years ago to be with a lesbian lover, meets the film's protagonist who helps her, she comes to recognize that lesbians can be good people too. OK. Characters learn from other characters all the time in movies.The film might appear a little fluffy when you stand back from it, but the journey through it is filled with a number of poignant moments. One is the film's only sex scene, a non-explicit one between the film's central lesbian character and her male roommate. She's lost her true love to a man, is full of turmoil and wants to see what sex with a man is like. The scene is done very well and handled delicately.My take on the title and the poster depicting two young women about to engage in a passionate kiss is this: the opening moments of the film are a little warm. The two women, as depicted on the poster, are engaged in some very passionate kissing and roaming of hands. And then pop! The "top", the attitude many viewers stereotypically enter with, and desire from, a film about lesbians—two chicks going at it will be hot—comes off. The scene makes an abrupt change in tone and direction. All of a sudden the film is about people with personalities and it never looks back. Yes, it keeps saying "my desire to love and be loved as a lesbian is just like yours (as a straight person) except it's a little complicated by all this societal buildup of crud." That's the point, isn't it? My biggest takeaway from the film is Mina Shimizu. She's one of those actresses like Noriko Eguchi, except she's very upbeat and not moody and darkish like Eguchi, who owns the screen and everyone else in it every time she appears. I predict big things ahead for her.

I am so glad I saw this film. This is really surprisingly good esp. coming from Asia country. Usually, any Asia film containing lesbian/gay theme tend to be stereotyped but this one simply just talks about the truth of lives. All these characters are fully developed and act their parts. Natsuko being a free spirit accepts for who she is and brave to stand for herself. Her girlfriend, Tomomi, married with a man to have a family b/c she didn't want to face the pressure and bias from the society. Yet, she is content with her decision. Natsuko's roommate has feelings for her but he can't really express it b/c he knows Natsuko's sexual orientation. Then, the high school girl came to Tokyo to look for her mother who abandoned her for her female lover! They all struggle with their own feelings and finding themselves. Although the process is painful, they are able to face themselves. The ending is a bit bitter and sad. There are also sweet moments. I highly recommend this movie.

The ever-lively and upbeat Natsuko tries to mend a broken heart by carrying on with a string of short-lived affairs after her break-up with Tomomi. But when Tomomi announces her plans to marry - a man - Natsuko becomes inconsolable. While all this is taking place, Natsuko's straight male roommate is grappling with his own feelings for her, and a young high school girl comes to Tokyo searching for the mother that long ago left her for a female lover. Each character - queer, straight, male, female, young, old, and in-between - struggles to make peace with him/herself as all their lives overlap. This story captures the power of young love, and the web of the city.I didn't know what to expect when I got it, the sleeves looks like a pinkish movie, but the story on the sleeves sounds more serious. After watching it I was really glad I did. I didn't know the director, and I wondered..is it a she? Feels like a she, but it's a he: the writer is a she, and a lesbian: They worked closely together. But as a director he has a real nice touch of approaching the subject. Mending your life, coming to terms with you feelings, coming to terms with the way you are, who you are, a little lesbo-emancipation mixed in to it. And no pinkness involved. Lovely little film all in all. A real life story, opening your eyes for Japanese Lesbian life, told with liveliness and wit, with serious undertones without disturbing the feel good touch
