In its stark portrayal of commodified intimacy, Broca's Aphasia critiques a society increasingly detached from genuine human connection, encapsulated by a strange contrast between lifeless dolls and moments of real human emotion.
The documentary vividly captures the unsettling reality of a sex-doll rental service, where human interactions are reduced to transactions, carefully guided by a staff that speaks with the calculated tone of a manual.
One of the film's most haunting images shows a row of headless dolls in a stark setting, an unsettling metaphor reflecting on the dehumanization and objectification prevalent in contemporary relationships.
Despite its interesting concept, the film's attempt to anthropomorphize dolls and link them to the experiences of actual sex workers appears contrived, detracting from the film's otherwise penetrating exploration of isolation and intimacy.
