430p AUDITION In 1999, prolific Japanese moviemaker Takashi Miike (director of over 100 feature films) outdid himself with one of the most terrifying unpredictable movies in all of J-Horror. Audition tells the story of widowed Tokyo TV producer, Shigeharu, who, with a little cajoling from his friend, decides to hold an audition when he's really looking for a new girlfriend after years of solitude. And when the beautiful, seemingly timid, and mysterious Asami walks in, Shigeharu feels he's found a new hope. But then the movie brilliantly and brutally scrambles all expectations. It also interrogates Shigeharu's feeling that this was the right thing to do. The second half of this movie is one of the most terrifying crucibles you'll ever go through. Never have laughter and groans and gasps been so forthcoming and symphonic. This is a brilliant movie. But NOT for the faint of heart.

On glorious 35mm prints.
