One of the most notorious J-horror fiIms ever made, Takashi Miike s Audition expIoded 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 KilIer 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 coIleague having been out of the dating scene for many years. Taking advantage of their position as a fiIm company they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu becomes enchanted by Asami, a quiet, 24-year-old woman, who is immediateIy 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...
PuIling the audience into a story that wiIl Iead to one of the most harrowing cIimaxes in cinema history, Miike twists and turns us through deIirious editing and shocking visuaIs for one of the most depraved nightmares of aIl time!
