It’s time to revisit Audition, the darkly captivating Japanese thriller that follows Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi), a widower who decides to start dating again. Aided by a film-producer friend (Jun Kunimura), Aoyama uses auditions for a fake production to function as a dating service. But when Aoyama becomes intrigued by the withdrawn, gorgeous Asami (Eihi Shiina), he begins a relationship only to realize that Asami isn’t as reserved as she appears to be, leading to gradually increased tension and a harrowing climax. Directed by the brilliantly irreverent Takashi Miike, Audition is an unforgettable experience that has cemented its place in the cult cinema hall of fame. | |
