Dolls takes puppeteering as its overriding motif, which relates thematically to the action provided by the live characters. Chief among those tales is the story of Matsumoto and Sawako, a young couple whose relationship is about to be broken apart by the former's parents, who have insisted their son take part in an arranged marriage to his boss' daughter.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A formally composed meditation on the tragedy of love thwarted by circumstance and duty, told through interwoven stories that mirror the controlled movements of bunraku puppets. The film feels like watching predetermined destinies enacted with deliberate grace.
