Air Doll

Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda

Air Doll is a delicate and thought-provoking film by internationally acclaimed director Hirokazu Kore-eda. The story centers on an inflatable love doll who unexpectedly gains a heart and a sense of self. As she begins to explore the human world, her encounters with various people spark an emotional awakening.

Through the doll’s innocent gaze, the film poignantly reflects on the loneliness, disconnection, and quiet yearning that define contemporary urban life. Blending subtle eroticism with whimsical humor, Air Doll is not merely a fantasy; it is a tender meditation on what it means to be alive, to be loved, and to feel empty in a world full of people. With poetic visuals and a haunting sense of fragility, Kore-eda crafts a modern fairy tale that lingers long after the credits roll.
