Oops! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The Spanish painter's name should be spelled as Salvador Dali, not Salvatore as in my previous review. I apologize for my mistake!

Memorable Arthouse Movie! 9/10 Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have recently watched the movies, The Dolls, Kikujiro and Zatoichi by the director, Kitano Takeshi and I like them all. I think he is a director of substance who has depth and is an excellent social commentator.

From this movie of three separate stories, The Dolls, the story of Sawako and Matsumoto is most memorable. I enjoy the story with the crime boss, but the story of the pop star fan is rather weak. Kitano tends not to make smooth transitions nor does he like to go into details in this movie. All three stories in this movie are disjointed in its own. I can see why the movie is hard for some to digest and it is the reason for my non perfect score.

The story of Sawako and Matsumoto is surrealistic, artistic, beautiful and tragically sad. I recommend this movie to art lovers who are the sympathetic and sensitive types. I think they will enjoy the beautiful colors on the costume designs, cinematography and most beautiful landscapes, and the storyline. The music by Hisaishi Joe is excellent. Spoiler here: The ending scene is a huge surprise that is unforgettable, cruelest and haunting. It's a picture influenced by Salvatore Dali's folding clock or time. Also, the beautiful robes worn by Sawako and Matsumoto remind me of a painting by Monet. It is called Portrait of a Geisha if I'm not mistaken. Watch the beautiful red color!

I really did not like the movie. It was not happy nor sad... it was more like a drag that went on and on. The three stories were weird.

 Tragic/stunning/excellent movie Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
"Dolls" is a movie about love. Not that teen movie, romantic comedy, cutesy pie, candlelit dinner sort of love but that fierce, hopeless, epic sort of love, the type of love that makes you completely lose yourself in someone else...there are three different storylines and they all give a different aspect of this type of self-sacrificing affection (I especially liked the one with yakuza). Plus, this is one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous films I've ever seen. So many of the shots and backgrounds are just insanely beautiful, like paintings come to life, serving as the setting for this amazing film. Check out "Dolls". Be moved by the stories and stunned by the shots. It's by far one of my favorite Japanese movies of all time.

the most beautiful colors ever Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I think Dolls is one or the most beautiful Kitano's movie to be seen, an spectacular cinematography and the most beautiful mixture of colors that define each one of the 4 histories.
This dvd brings 6 post cards and a nice box, that make of it a great dvd version, I'm happy to have it.

Tragically beautiful Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This film was good on the scenery, but the 3 story wasnt that good. The one that probably stand out the most is the story about the yazuka boss, at least that made sense. The other two story seems to be messy and the meaning is too complicated or there is no meaning at all.

Sweet Customer Review Rated Bad 7 - 7 out of 10
Kinda hard to digest what the movie is trying to show because there are two other plots happening in the story and they're not really connected at all. But the main one is pretty sweet where barely any dialog happens between the pityful couple. The scenes are lovely, especially the coloring..

It ends quite hanging, though..

simply gorgeous Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
The movie is so gorgeous.. The movie is so meaningful (e.g. the way they used the color red to symbolize love & tragedy).. This movie is again a beautiful masterpiece.. It has all the elements of love. If your into quality movies, then "Dolls" is a must get for you.

excellent work Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
To my mind, writers and director of the film, try it
to show our world, without superfluous words. It seems to be, it is the new direction in cinema. Brilliant music with beautiful nature. I think, you must see this film.
