Dolls
Dolls takes puppeteering as its motif -- namely, the kind practiced in Bunraku doll theater performances -- opening each section of his film with a narrative offered by the puppets and their masters, which relates to the actions supplied by the characters that are live. Chief among those stories is that the narrative of Matsumoto (Hidetoshi Nishijima) and Sawako (Miho Kanno), a young couple whose relationship is about to be divided apart from the former's parents, who have insisted their child participate in an arranged marriage to his boss' daughter. He insists, causing the unstable Sawako to be devoted to a psychiatric hospital. However, he understands she is so incapable of looking after himself she needs to be tied with a rope when he leaves his bride at the altar to save Sawako. Bound, the two drift through Japan, falling the others along the way who have similarly overlooked love for additional, more fleeting delights: fame, power, money.
