Plot:
Dolls is a film of extraordinary beauty and tenderness from a filmmaker chiefly associated with grave mayhem and deadpan humor. That is to say, this is not one more Takeshi Kitano movie focused...( read more

Boring and pretentious. I'm not even completely against movies that are boring and pretentious, but I just couldn't take this. Although I did enjoy the the storyline about the yakuza boss.
fantastic, haunting stories that cover all angles of love and loneliness. kanno miho gives a very tormented performance, her story being my favourite. hisaishi also made a beautiful score (despite his dislike for the screenplay).
I try my hardest to watch this movie to the end. But no joke, I end up falling asleep every time past the first story. I honestly want to like this movie and I think 1.5 stars is the best it will get from me
Such a beautiful film. The movie holds strong to the theme of love and expresses it in all kinds of forms throughout the three stories. The film is quite simple and holds tons of symbolism and covers the entire spectrum of emotion. It's a lot different from what you'd expect from Kitano but this film proves he really is a masterful filmmaker. The scenery and characters are so wonderful there is not much dialog but that is what made this movie so good. It made me happy sad and very pleased. It's such an original piece of cinema and one that will stay in your memory for a long time. Simply wonderful and beautiful in every way a masterpiece.
Kitano's most harmonic and beautiful achievement about separated stories that deal with human beings and their deep psychology.
90/100
What I love about Takeshi Kitano's films is after a while, he eventually just started making them for his fans. If you were already brought in through Hana-Bi, Sonatine, and Kikujiro, you're on your way to being ready for this film. However, it's still a stand-out film amongst his filmography for its emotional strength and outright visual beauty. It's honestly one of my favorites of Kitano's filmography and I'm glad it took so long for me to see it. My matured emotions and mind helped me soak this in far more. Don't see it immediately, see it when you're ready. It's the kind of masterpiece best savored with the right perspective and emotional feeling.
This was a new type of film for me.... The silence throughout the film was hard to grasp but everything else makes up for it. Unbelievable amonts of amazing color and three unfortunate love stories....
My favourite movie, I never saw something so impressive before. It is emotional, symbolical both cruel and so beautiful.
The cinematography was done very well. A very beautiful looking film. But...somehow, I didn't feel as sad as I think I should have been. Watch this if you like art-house stuff and if you like to contemplate what love means and how it effects those involved.
its a masterpiece...the FLIXTER says that is a film of 2004 but i have the impression that it is
film of 2002 ....anyway
Four stories of pure and intense love connected all together by a pair of beggars. Awesome colors, too - real artwork.
Simply moving.
I was a little torn about it at first, but after watching an interview with Kitano, it started to make sense with what he was trying to get at. While much of the symbolism will pass people by(me included), the film is stunning. The colors are so highly saturated that they pierce thru the screen(espcially the reds). It's a very tradgic tale that has you questioning the events that unfold, but shows you that these characters are at the director's will, just like the Banraku dolls.
A hypnotic and picturesque story of devoted love in the form of sacrifice and tragedy. Stunning visuals leaves a solemnly deep impression that love is felt more deep, holy and lyrical in Japan.
Deeply emotional .. simply beautiful ..yet extremely minimalist in its dialogues achieves a great deal in portraying human emotions through its colors , its pace and its overall composition ....
A romantic and tragic film at the same time. Thoughtful and slow it analyses the concept of love in 4 different episodes
A man breaks his vow to his girlfriend to take part of an arranged marriage, chosing prosperity over love. She attempts to kill herself and undergoes a mental breakdown. He learns this before getting married and overwhelmed with grief runs to her side. They then begin a lifeless journey roaming around beautiful sceneries, just being there for each other.
Three stories of undying love from acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Takeshi Kitano. Bound by a long red cord, a young couple wanders in search of something they have forgotten. An aging yakuza returns to the park where he used to meet his long-lost girlfriend. A disfigured pop star confronts the phenomenal devotion of her biggest fan ... Three stories delicately intertwined by the beauty of sadness.
Beautiful and tragic Kitano movie with seperate stories all involving heartbreak. A wonderful yet sad viewing experience.
Takeshi Kitano is one of the most important contemporary directors, this is by far his best movie and one of the finest ever made. It's a Minimal love tale in 3 parts , visually stunning, emotional and filled with symbolic colours and symbols. Kitano also uses seasonal change during the 3 stories as a metaphor (a relationship starting in spring and ending in the wintersnow). This perfect work of art is a must see for anyone who loves cinema.
Splendido film di Takeshi Kitano, da citare in particolare la magnifica fotografia.
Una visione dell' amore estremamente radicale e drastica, ma dobbiamo
The best photography that I've ever seen, the locations are absolutely gorgeous as well as the captivating story about the true love; it's full of metaphors about how everybody should really love.
