Review

Audition begins disarmingly when Aoyama, a widower of seven years, decides it's time to find a new wife. He holds auditions for potential mates under the guise they are auditioning for a film he'll produce. After settling on Asami, a quiet, fetching young actress, he begins dating her. Their polite, timid courtship takes a 180-degree turn when Asami, trumping the stereotype of the submissive Asian woman, visits her revenge on Aoyama in the most nightmarish of ways. The film morphs from romance to psycho-thriller in the bat of a pierced eyelid. An intriguing premise is handled well by the uber-prolific Miike, with the leads giving excellent performances. Audition may be a bit too deliberately paced, but it's nevertheless a small gem of a movie, and contains some shocking moments you won't soon forget. (Japanese with English subtitles)
