Dolls (2002). From the opening scene to the last, Kitano's Dolls is a visual splendor. Unlike his other work, Kitano seems on the same page as Ki-duk Kim here, with astounding visuals and imagery and minimalist dialog; and this is not a bad thing. Definitely art house, this flick is not for everyone. But for those inclined towards the angst of unfair love as presented through a relentless series of symbolic and colorful visuals, then this will be quite the treat. The acting was sublime. The story itself is solid, and the direction is of course exceptional. The camera work is off the charts wonderful. This work might even challenge Hana-bi for Kitano's most powerful work to date. Ashe.
