DOLL 1988

Directed by Hajime Tomono

A bold adaptation of Koharu Kisaragi's play of the same name. Four girls in a high school drama club try to put on their first play, "DOLL", but it doesn't go well because they have many differences. This 102-minute film follows the emotional trajectory of the girls as they hurt each other, come to believe that no one needs them, and end up committing suicide. The truth of these four people, who tried to live pure and beautiful lives, is heartbreaking.
