"Dolls" by Takeshi Kitano is a sad and depressive movie based on the Japanese Puppet Theater Bunraku that tells three tales of guilt and eternal love. Each tragic love story is disclosed in a very slow pace and supported by stunning cinematography and excellent direction and performances.
Matsumoto and Sawako are in deep love for each other. When the president of the company where Matsumoto works "selects" him to marry his daughter, Matsumoto's parents force him to accept the engagement. On the wedding day, Matsumoto is informed that Sawako has attempted to commit suicide. She survives with brain damage and Matsumoto leaves his wedding to take her from the hospital and become her lifelong companion and caretaker.
The old Yakuza boss Hiro misses his girlfriend from thirty years ago that has promised to wait for him in a park while he would chase success. When Hiro visits the park, he sees her on the bench where they used to meet each other.
The pop-star Haruna Yamagushi has an obsessive fan called Nukui that stalks her. After a car accident, Nukui makes a decision to be close to his beloved idol.
