Audition (Uncut Special Edition) description
If you want the full sledgehammer-to-the-stomach effect of Audition, 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 Fatal Attraction-style thriller, however; Audition slowly and carefully builds into a wrenching exploration of both deep male fears and the stereotype of the cute, submissive Japanese woman. Audition 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. --Ali Davis

♥♥♥♥♥ Happy Valentine's Day.....
This was the first Miike film I saw (and one of the first films I rented from Netflix), and I still can't get it out of my mind. It's an incredibly creepy, visceral, astonishing film, one of Miike's many masterpieces, and one of the greatest date movies ever. The thing is about this film is that it never feels exploitative. It's kind of sad, as you really feel for the widower at the beginning of the film, and when he's tortured at the end of the film by his "wife", it's even harder to watch (I've seen this film twice, and it's still uncomfortable to watch the final 20 minutes or so, which shows you how effective the film is). In the hands of a lesser director, it would be a "torture porn" film, reveling in the violence with no real substance. Miike's films do have something to them other than gratuitous gore, and this is one of the best examples of his greatness.
