Audition (1999)
Seven years after the death of his wife, company executive Aoyama is invited to sit in on auditions for an actress. Leafing through the resumés in advance, his eye is caught by Yamazaki Asami, a striking young woman with ballet training. On the day of the audition, she's the last person they see. Aoyama is hooked. He notes her number from her file, calls her and takes her to dinner. He hesitates to call again, worried that he'll seem too eager... (imdb)

My first, probably overdue, venture into Miike. Sadly I can't say I was enthralled. The story is certainly intriguing, & the cast- specifically Eihi Shiina- turn in good performances, but the pacing was so slow & the arthouseyness in the second half really became too much for me. very cool idea, though, & what the climax has to offer is decently disturbing I guess. But, it wasn't quite as...harsh as I was led to believe. Also, the protagonist just isn't likeable, & that didn't help. Still, okay.

I don't care for classics or cults that I don't understand and this one is right up that list. I find it particularly distasteful when large or key parts of the movie are a dream sequence that that audience was initially fooled into believing as real. The movie builds up reasonably well and then disappoints.

**SPOILERS** Best to know as little as possible going in about this one - moves at such a slow and benign pace in the first half that you keep waiting for Miike's other shoe/foot to drop; when it does, it's not only startling but of course inevitable. Purely a visceral experience that deliberately throws a bucket of ice water over its audience and at this it succeeds masterfully, aided immeasurably by its two leads mercilessly attacking this peculiar and deranged material for all they are worth.

First time watching this. I (somehow) didn't know what to expect, but it really went up a notch towards the end. Bloody hell. This was very good, if deeply unsettling at points. I need to see more of Miike's work. Fascinating.

Well the torture scene really mastered leaving things to the viewers imagination until it showed me the gore. Solid points for the sound design in that whole scene. But besides for that a huge overrated mess of potential. Felt like the movie expected me to think this was a melodrama? Barely plays into the horror until the very end and even then it rushes through the mystery build up. All that is built up is an age gap relationship that was cheesy and felt like bad, boring melodrama

It does a good job of being disturbing, but its ultimately a whole lot of nothing and then some gore. The underlying social commentary isn't well done or in any way profound. Poop movie.

Miike has a great eye for camera angles, and it's put to use in the many still shots that make up the bulk of the film. Not sure the midpoint twist into dream horror really sticks the landing, but damn if it doesn't have some cool shots (there's a smash cut from a deep orange to deep blue saturated shot that's just sublime).
