“Living Dolls is a gem.”-Jim Bawden, TV Critic“…a fabulous look at…people fixated on collecting dolls” -John Doyle, The Globe and Mail“A truly fascinating and occasionally heartbreaking documentary…” -The Film Reel
Living Dolls is an up-close and playful look at the weirdly wonderful world of doll collectors – these people are anything but plastic. The documentary introduces us to the quirky and colourful characters that collect all types of dolls and features individuals whose normal lives – with jobs, families and friends – are ultimately shaped by their obsession.
You’ll meet a young married mother who spends way more money than the family earns to feed her habit; a Barbie-‐loving 30-‐something man who never left home; an artist and animator who transforms fashion dolls into robots for an epic robot-‐porn film he’s worked on for years; and a married man who believes his love dolls give him the best of both sex and art.
