It is often rare I find films that allow the colors and backgrounds explain the plot for itself. Throughout my time watching the film, I couldn’t help but to be in awe for how astonishing the visuals are and how the story poetically speaks to me emotionally. Another thing I love the most is how the film focuses on third perspective (omniscient) — there wasn’t one story, but three and I find it interesting when there was an slight crossover and little details of lore behind every persons the main couple passes by (I think that’s personally one of my fav part in the film). The scene where it made me slightly emotional was when the main couple stared at an window and reminiscing the time where they were supposed to get married and soon silence filled the space for awhile until the two couple looked at each other all in tears — it is also my favorite scenes. I truly love this film, I love everything about this film. It was peaceful, artistic, tragic, and emotional.

Non mi sento all’altezza per recensire questo film, devo ancora masticarlo, devo farmi un’idea precisa. Quel che è certo è che non mi ha lasciato indifferente.

stumbled upon this while on a letterboxd rabbit hole only to learn that it's actually about bunraku theatre, so you know i had to tune in after a semester of dramaturgy. really beautiful and really quiet in a devastating way. it's love distilled. i did find it to be a little too quiet and slow at times, but it's powerfully bookended by a stunning bunraku performance and a beautifully tragic end.

i wasn't expecting how sad this was gonna be, i thought this was gonna be some lighthearted beautiful romance by takeshi kitano but instead i got a depressing love story with beautiful cinematography by takeshi kitano. this movie was rlly good, also rlly fucking sad. i love the themes of fate and unrequited love, the theme of obsession is also rlly good. this is probably kitanos most beautiful movie and as always by joe hisaishi, the soundtrack is just fantastic, captures the bittersweetness and beauty of this movie perfectly and he made me like this more than i thought i would. this movie relies on visual storytelling a lot and there's not much said throughout this movie so it makes a slow burner, but it's so beautiful that u genuinely can't look away from it, i'm amazed by how stunning the cinematography is. the entire metaphor behind the dolls and how it correlates to being controlled by fate is such an interesting metaphor that i've never seen, i think it's just a fantastic metaphor and im glad kitano was the one who thought about it because it made an excellent movie. the acting is so good, even though there isn't much said their faces and movements are just so well acted and the way they can convey emotions just from their expressions are just incredible. i'm still not over the story and how they're not connected yet they're all featured in each others story, it's so good. the ending of this movie is so sad, the way all 3 endings are so sad just makes this into a depressing tale of love, fate and obsession.

good movie
