Dolls [Import]

Taking its style from the traditional Bunraku puppet dramas seen in the opening sequence, writer/director Takeshi Kitano's anthology offers three tales of love gone dangerously awry. A young man pressured by family to wed his boss's daughter winds up bound—emotionally and physically—to his ex-lover; a Yakuza boss encounters the woman he loved years earlier; and an obsessed fan proves his devotion to a pop star after she suffers a disfiguring accident. Miho Kanno, Hidetoshi Nishijima, Tatsuya Mihashi, Kyoko Fukada star. 113 min. Standard; Soundtrack: Japanese Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; theatrical trailer.
