Audition
If you want the full sledgehammer-to-the-stomach effect of
i Audition
i0 , stop reading this review now. Just watch it and take the consequences. At first glance, Takashi Miike's jack in the box of a movie works like a romantic comedy: amiable widower Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) decides it's time to find a new wife, and a friend suggests holding a fake audition to find the right girl. It soon becomes clear that there is something wrong with Aoyama's choice. This is no ordinary
i Fatal Attraction
i0 -style thriller, however;
i Audition
i0 slowly and carefully builds into a wrenching exploration of both deep male fears and the stereotype of the cute, submissive Japanese woman.
i Audition
i0 is by no means an easy movie to watch--even hardcore horror fans may have trouble--but it will stay with you for a long, long time.
