Air Doll (2009)

Air Doll is a disarming, original, surreal story about an inflatable doll that comes alive. I'd describe the film as a modern fairy-tale that's larded with metaphors, wrapped in a pleasantly dreamy, poetic atmosphere, although there are also a few uncanny scenes. As the film progresses, an initially dormant tone of sadness becomes more prominent, and the beautiful soundtrack adds a lot to Air Doll's melancholy mood.
