What they share

Both films are directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda. If that's the register that drew you to Without Memory, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Air Doll is

Pinocchio if melancholy. A blow-up doll in Tokyo gains a soul and quietly explores the world. Kore-eda's gentle fable reflects on identity, connection, and the fragile beauty of existence, all anchored by Bae Doona's delicate performance.
