One of the most notorious J-Horror films ever made, Takashi Miike's Audition exploded onto the festival circuit at the turn of the 21st century to a chorus of awards and praise, catapulting Miike to international fame and paving the way for later genre works such as Ichi the Killer and 13 Assassins. Recent widower Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) is advised by his son to find a new wife and, having been out of the dating scene for many years, seeks a colleague's advice. Taking advantage of their jobs at a film company, the two stage an audition to find the perfect partner. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu becomes enchanted by Asami (Eihi Shiina), a quiet 24-year-old who responds immediately to his charms — but events take a dark and twisted turn as Asami turns out not to be what she seems. Miike pulls the audience into a story leading to one of the most harrowing climaxes in cinema history, twisting through delirious editing and shocking visuals in one of the most depraved nightmares of all time, now presented in stunning 4K.
