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)

Stylishly grotesque but thematically hit and miss... but I have never felt so simultaneously vile, unnerved, and sickened, yet somehow deeply satisfied at the end of any movie. So I guess it's exactly what a horror film should be. Nice one, Miike-san. Nice indeed.

The film's monumental reputation hurt the first viewing experience for me a bit. Tempered expectations for next time will likely lead to more enjoyment.

KIRI KIRI KIRI. Miike is such a crazy director that he starts the film as a deadly sterile romcom shaped as a serious love story and then slowly turns it into a game of pain (literally, because according to Asami a man has to feel pain in order to be a man) and desire by developing nearly supernatural and femme fatale tropes altogether and wrapping things up in a 40-minute dreamy and hallucinatory climax (given to multiple interpretations of what truly happened).

With its very long build-up, a proper sympathy is generated for the protagonist, but it doesn't do anything at the film's climax, mostly because of really crappy acting on his part in the final moments and a lack of atmosphere.

A film that perfectly demonstrates the essence of being a fan of horror cinema - knowing you shouldn't look, but wanting to, or being compelled to anyway. Expertly built up from psychological thriller to visceral horror, this is a gruesome, grisly, gruelling, but brilliant and effective piece of work.

The utterly mundane banality of the premise - which could be rearranged into a Hollywood romantic comedy - allows this film to eventually sting so much. The general feeling is more akin to body horror than torture porn; extreme manipulation of the flesh borne from interior longing, rather than functioning as a quest for schadenfreude money shots. Some of its detractors downplay the gender role reversal, as if it doesn't place the film in diametric, admirable opposition to unfortunate tropes.

The destination is only as worthwhile as the journey getting there. Most of Audition's journey is not only a total slog to sit through, but the lack of clear motivations behind Asami's increasingly troubling behavior - at least towards Aoyama - prevents its much-trumpeted finale of leaving any deep, lasting or meaningful impact. Appalled by this being labeled as a thriller, as there's nothing thrilling or exciting about it.
