There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“…an achingly beautiful meditation on loneliness.”
—Maggie Lee, The Hollywood Reporter

She’s no Pinocchio, but when an inflatable sex doll leaves her middle-aged owner, she sets out to experience the world, her heart open and ready for love. Getting a job in a video store, she encounters the intricacies of human connection with awe and wonder in this modern day fable from Hirokazu Kore-eda (SHOPLIFTERS).  Adapted from the manga by Yoshiie Goda and featuring breathtaking cinematography from Mark Lee Ping-Bing (IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE), the criminally underseen AIR DOLL is “one of those films that can haunt viewers long after they’ve left the theater” (NPR).
