If you loved Dolls, try Das Meer war ruhig
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Takeshi Kitano, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dolls, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Das Meer war ruhig is
Takeshi Kitano directs, but also this is a romance? A young deaf man finds a surfboard and decides he will surf. His equally deaf girlfriend supports him. It's a very quiet film, one might say.
