The Melancholy Fantastic

I'm sure that Doll in the Dark benefited from being only 73 minutes long because even so, the runtime is quite long in places, and you can easily get bored at some moments. The build-up isn't exactly excellent, but nonetheless, the creators manage to surprise in the end with a very well-executed scene and the revelation involving Dukken. At least this is what makes Doll in the Dark worth watching. I would skip its longer predecessor The Melancholy Fantastic though. (2017.02.07)
