Review:

Inspired by traditional Japanese Bunraku

doll theater, "Dolls" is an unforgettable movie.

Their scenes are beautiful, colorful by red, gold,

pink cherry blossoms and white from the snow.

The movie is narrated through the seasons and

through the main characters that walk tied by a

long red rope. There are a few dialogues in this

movie but their expressions and movements tell

us the drama and show a sensibility of Japanese

movies.Their three stories seem a little

disconnected but their plot are all the same: love

and madness together, giving us a distressing

view of these two feelings.
