Quirky, weird and off the wall are our stock in trade here at 24fps, so it would be remiss of us not to mention the fantastic news that Hirokazu Koreeda’s oddball fantasy Air Doll - about a sex toy that suddenly develops a soul and comes to life - is finally heading for the UK. A perfect early xmas gift for yourself or the one you love? There’s no UK trailer that we can see, but we’ll happily make do with the U.S one. Airdoll hits the shelves Nov 26. Synopsis: A life-size Air Doll lives in a shabby apartment in Tokyo. She cannot speak, nor can she move. But she is the only companion her middle-aged master has. He talks to her, puts her in a bath and makes love with her every day after he returns from work. This routine life is disrupted when fantasy turns into reality. »
