Japan Cuts 2016 - Lowlife Love Q&A
Q&A with director Eiji Uchida, star Denden and producer Adam Torel of Lowlife Life, screened as part of Japan Cuts 10th anniversary festival of new japanese film.
Director Eiji Uchida's follow-up to Greatful Dead (JAPAN CUTS 2014) is a relentlessly cynical black comedy that takes a look under the rug of the Japanese film industry, where scheming lowlife producers, filmmakers and actors get by through exploitation and intimidation. The biggest lowlife is Tetsuo (Kiyohiko Shibukawa), who made a minor indie hit many years ago but has since then coasted by shooting cheap pornos for cash and half-heartedly running an acting workshop where he sexually harasses newbie actresses. When two talented new students sign up for his workshop, however, one with an exciting original script and the other with star potential, Tetsuo sees an opportunity and makes plans for his comeback.
