Kitano Takeshi
Hidetoshi Nishijima
SYNOPSIS:
Dolls is the latest work of the renowned Japanese director
Takeshi Kitano. It has been invited to participate in a great number of international film festivals worldwide. Similar to
his other works, this movie is quite controversial and it has received very mixed response.
The film is composed of
three short stories. The first one is about the aimless journey of a pair of lovers (Hidetoshi Nishijima and Miho Kanno);
The second one involves the reunion of a yakuza boss and his old lover after a thirty years interval; The third story talks
about the fanatical love of a fan to his idol singer (Kyoko Fukada). Although the characters of these three stories do come
across each other at certain moment of the movie, the stories do not intertwine or have any explicit connection at all. Each
one of them is just presented on its own. Among the three short stories, the reunion of the yakuza boss and his old lover
is the most easy-going one, while the focus of the movie, that is, the aimless journey of Nishijima and Kanno, is the one
that is most difficult to appreciate.
