Review of Dolls

Dolls (2002)
10/10
best film in years, kitano is a real artist
22 April 2003
Well, yesterday I had the chance to see the dolls and with one word I was mesmerized. Mr Kitano did gather up a marvellous group of people. Yohji Yamamoto, one of the living legend of Japan, prepared wonderful costumes for all characters. The score was divine and cinematography was a unique masterpiece. I truly felt myself hypnotized by the power of images and music. Yet, I still think the person who has to credited for this heavenly masterpiece is Mr Kitano. Kitano uses every aspect of cinema wisely. Editing of the the movie, all those flashbacks and flashforwards are phenomenal. Three separate love stories are intertwined with a great harmony.

Mr Kitano and his heartbroken characters did break my heart and left me speechless. With the tears in my eyes I watched the dance of flying images. Dolls is a poem of images for sure and Takeshi Kitano is a rare director who can put his heart to his movie and become a poet.
