Audition
is the story about a widower who, after some prompting by his
son, decides he is going to try and remarry. His producer friend
suggests that they hold a fake audition for a movie and he can
choose from the attendees. While reading the bios of the applicants
he finds one that truly interests and slowly they start going
out. Eventually the go away for a weekend together and this
is where the problems begin. Director Takashi Miike is known
for his ultra-violent imagery and this one goes from a love
story to "Misery on acid" in a hurry.
