Audition is a Japanese horror film directed by Takashi Miike and based on a novel of the same name by Ryu Murakami. Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi), a seven-years-widower , is encouraged by his son, Shigehiko (Tetsu Sawaki), to start dating again. He accepts the plan and immediately falls in love with Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina).
An extremely disturbing and violent psychological thriller from the gifted Japanese director Takashi Miike, which will linger in memory long after you see the film.
Whether reading Audition as a portrait of coming to terms with grief, a feminist revenge tale, or a graphic exploration of romantic attachment and idealism, it remains a terrifying film.
This brazen shocker is never less than compelling -- even when you feel compelled to shut your eyes.

There will be many people who consider Audition an atrocity, and a few who find it a stimulating cinema experience.

It's Japanese provocateur Takashi Miike's best film - a mordant spin on "Little Red Riding Hood" with sexist expectations as the wolf on which the tables are turned. Its "kiri, kiri" refrain also is the Zeroes' answer to "Is it safe?" from "Marathon Man."
