REVIEW:



"Topless Women talk About Their Lives" is a lively, quirky and

unrelentingly honest film about a group of twenty-somethings living in

Auckland, New Zealand. The Director, Harry Sinclair, has succeeded in

portraying the problems faced during the ever-present 'Quarter-Life

Crisis' in a way that is candid and original. The film follows the

lives of a group of friends who face marriage, infidelity, careers,

insecurities and pregnancy. The naturalistic and open script provides

endless opportunity to bring the story to life through genuine

performances from the cast. It was one of the low budget kiwi feature

films that gained a national cult following as well as international

critical acclaim as the New Zealand film industry boomed at the end of

the 1990s. Bear in mind that the film was originally shot as a series

of five minute episodes that were shown on television late on Friday

nights in the late '90s. This results in the film having an obvious

episodic structure made up of distinct scene by scene sequences. The

story is told as a number of short episodes alternating between each

character and their current crisis. However, the swift cuts are

supported by a musical soundtrack that reflects the mood of the

scene. The soundtrack is made up entirely of New Zealand music, mainly

from the Flying Nun Label, which enriches the distinctly New Zealand

nature of the film. The constant cuts and overlapping music resembles

the structure of a music video and consistency is maintained by

repeating snippets of certain tracks during recurring themes. In

short, "Topless Women" is a great film, and you're guaranteed to take

something good away from it. Written by Astoks (IMDB)
