Audition is a Japanese film that starts of as a normal movie, but as it progresses things get stranger and stranger. A man is told by his son that he is old and should find a new wife (his last wife died). So he meets up with his friend in the film industry and they set up an "audition" for the movie, which the man uses to find a good candidate for his new wife. He instantly falls for a certain shy girl at first glance. Soon they are dating and things go smoothely... until he begins to look into her dubious past. Everything goes down from there. Nothing is what it seems. The surreal nightmare begins.
If you like thriller/horror movies with graphic violence that almost makes you want to look away, then you'd like this film.
Also, if you like the fact that the word "deeper" in Japanese sounds like "kitty", you might enjoy the scene in which a man is punctured by needles while the girl says in a high pitch friendly voice "deeper, deeper, deeper." Of course, to us it sounds like "kitty, kitty, kitty." That was probably my favorite scene.
3 3/4 stars
