Lars and the Real Girl


Lars and the Real Girl is a 2007 AmericanCanadian comedydrama film written by Nancy Oliver and directed by Craig Gillespie. It stars Ryan Gosling, Emily Mortimer, Paul Schneider, Kelli Garner and Patricia Clarkson. The film follows Lars Gosling, a sweet but socially inept young man who develops a romantic yet platonic relationship with an anatomically correct sex doll, a RealDoll named Bianca.

In a small Wisconsin town, Lars Lindstrom Gosling lives in the converted garage behind the house he and his brother Gus Schneider inherited from their late father. Karin Mortimer is Larss pregnant sisterinlaw. Her persistent attempts to lure him into the house for a family meal are usually rebuffed, and on the rare occasions he accepts, their conversation is stilted and he seems eager to leave as soon as he can. The young man avoids social contact, finding it difficult to interact with or relate to his family, coworkers or fellow parishioners in the church he regularly attends. Margo Garner, Lars coworker, is clearly interested in him, but Lars avoids anything more than brief encounters with her.One day Lars happily announces to Gus and Karin he has a visitor he met via the Internet, a wheelchairbound missionary of Brazilian and Danish descent named Bianca. The two are startled to discover Bianca is, in fact, a lifelike doll Lars ordered from an adult website. Concerned about his mental health, they convince Lars to take Bianca to Dagmar Clarkson, the family doctor who is also a psychologist. Dagmar diagnoses Bianca with low blood pressure and advises Lars to bring her in for weekly treatments. The doctors actual intention is to analyze Lars and get to the root of his behavior. She explains to Gus and Karin that this delusion is merely a symptom or manifestation of an underlying problem that needs to be addressed. She urges them to assist with Larss therapy by treating Bianca as if she were a real woman. ........
