Description

One of the most notorious J-horror films ever made, Takashi Miike’s Audition exploded onto the festival circuit at the turn of the century to a chorus of awards and praise. The film would catapult Miike to the international scene and pave the way for such other genre delights as Ichii the Killer and The Happiness of the Katakuris. Recent widower Shigharu Aoyama is advised by his son to find a new wife, agreeing Shigeharu seeks the advice of a colleague having been out of the dating scene for many years. Taking advantage of their position as a film company they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu becomes enchanted by Asami, a quiet, 24-year-old woman, who is immediately responsive to his charms. But soon things take a very dark and twisted turn as we find that Asami isn’t what she seems to be… Pulling the audience into a story that will lead to one of the most harrowing climaxes in cinema history, Miike twists and turns us through delirious editing and shocking visuals for one of the most depraved nightmares of all time!

    This is a truly horrific film in a very clever, original and positive way! I don’t mean the film is positive, but I do mean that, in a positive manner, it is a great horror film! I do not want to reveal anything and ruin anything for anyone, so I won’t. See it for yourself if you dare…

    i don’t understand why this film is considered “shocking.” the only thing shocking is how shockingly boring it was. i was disappointed since so many people said it would be like nothing i have ever seen before.
  • Slow Burn but picks it up!

    I just watched because I heard it was scary but I lost the thought of scary and thought it was a sweet romantic comedy type movie... until about halfway in. Watch it, trust me.

    I love this movie but I hate reading subtitles. I wish they would remake this movie in English or dub it in English. I can’t give 5 stars because of the subtitles.
