Audition is the story of a Nice Guy who just wants to meet a nice young woman by leveraging his position as a producer to ask strangers intimate questions under false pretenses. For some reason, this ends with bad things happening to him (and it’s awesome).
Gather round for Shiina Eihi’s magnetic, amazing performance and the bone-deep satisfaction of watching this asshole get what’s coming to him. Also some really great surrealism. Yes, it’s disturbing, but not for the reason Eli Roth seems to think it is.
