"Along with Psycho, Audition is one of the great gearshift movies, starting out as one thing and then transitioning on a dime into something else entirely." - Scott Tobias, AV Club

"Like a swan dive into a pool of spikes and razor wire." - Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News

"The best-disguised psychotronic splatter flick in recent memory." - Dennis Lim, Village Voice

WINNER: Audience Award - Jeonju Film Festival

Audition was the turn-of-the-millennium flash point signaling the talent of Takashi Miike: a film artist twice a prolific as Fassbinder, a provocateur as multifaceted as Von Trier and a genre-bender as bent as David Lynch. Shocking arthouses worldwide with its white-knuckle finale and ingeniously Sirkian slow-burn leadup, Audition trailblazed a fresh Asian horror wave across American screens for which we're eternally grateful.

Recent widower Shigeharu is advised by his son to find a new wife. On the advice of a film company colleague, the stage "auditions" for a new girlfriend that masquerade as an acting job. Shigeharu becomes enchanted with Asami: a spooky twenty-something responsive to his charms. But this is no ordinary Fatal Attraction-style thriller, for it carefully pulls the audience through a wrenching exploration of deep male fears and the stereotype of submissive Japanese women.
