Audition DVD Movie
Audition Description: "As close to an arthouse horror film as one could imagine. Audition has been called a 'well-crafted, visually deft piece of grand guignol' (Nick James, Slight and Sound). Audition begins disarmingly when a shy, middle-aged widower, Aoyama, decides to choose his new wife by holding a phony audition for a nonexistent film. He falls for the demure and alluring Asami (Japanese fashion model Eihi Shiina), a former ballerina with a suspect past. 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. The ending, not for the faint of heart, 'realizes a sadistic breach of contract between filmmaker and audience of which Hitchcock could only dream,' (Richard Falcon, Slight and Sound)."
