Watch while you're widely awake then you'll enjoy

(Great) - The story and characters are interesting. (Great) - The graphics can be disturbing but that's what you've been warning for, correct? (Good) - The story-line is hopping around, so if you don't follow the story-line you'll feel confused. |

Astounding

I'm not a big fan of Takashi Miike's other ultra-violent works, but Audition is a true attempt at addressing one of the more serious issues here in Japan - female oppression. It tells of a man who, after losing his wife, holds a fake audition for a movie in order to get to intimately know a woman he has picked from a bunch of resumes. For anyone who has an understanding of Japanese cultural issues, this movie should have great effect, but I would not be certain that non-Japanese would be able to feel for this movie as much. The only negative comment I have about this film is its rather abrupt and vague ending, but I suppose that it is considerably acceptable for this type of film. As for the violence in the film, it is more intense than any Hollywood movie out there, but nothing ground breaking in relation to other Japanese movies considered as being 'violent'. |

It starts calmly, but...
| Don't expect alot of action, this is not that kind of movie. Instead, this is a great film for those who want something more sophisticated. Although it starts very calmly, the ending is pretty disturbing but matches the story well. A good film, definitely worth renting. |

If you like torture buy it!
| To summarize this movie: Disturbing and Confusing. Half of the movie consists of the main character hallucinating about events.. and the climax is an extremely disturbing torture sequence... do not recommend! |
