Dolls (2002)
Original title: ドールズ
Dolls is a 2002 Japanese-language drama movie directed by Takeshi Kitano, with a running time of 1h 54m. It stars Miho Kanno, Hidetoshi Nishijima and Tatsuya Mihashi.
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.
