If you loved Dolls, try Il silenzio sul mare
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
Both films are directed by Takeshi Kitano, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, slow burn, tender mood tags, 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 Il silenzio sul mare 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.
