Edit Cast Cast overview, first billed only: Ryo Ishibashi Shigeharu Aoyama Eihi Shiina Asami Yamazaki Tetsu Sawaki Shigehiko Aoyama Jun Kunimura Audition ( film) - Wikipedia Meanwhile, Asami goes to Aoyama's house and finds a photo of his late wife. Enraged, she drugs his liquor. Aoyama comes home, pours a drink, and begins feeling the effects of the drug. A flashback shows that the sack in Asami's apartment contains a man missing both feet, his tongue, one ear and three fingers on one hand. He crawls out and begs for food. Asami vomits into a dog dish and places it on the floor for the man. The man sticks his face into the vomit and hungrily consumes it. Aoyama collapses from the drug. Asami injects him with a paralytic agent that leaves his nerves alert, and tortures him with needles. She tells him that just like everyone else in her life, he has failed to love only her. She cannot tolerate his feelings for anyone else, even his own son. She inserts needles into the skin below his eyes, saying "deeper" continuously as she does so. She then cuts off his left foot with a wire saw. Shigehiko returns home as Asami begins to cut off Aoyama's other foot, and she sneaks up on him with a spray. As she attacks the boy, Aoyama appears to suddenly wake up back in the hotel after he and Asami had sex, and his current ordeal seems to be only a nightmare; Aoyama proposes marriage and Asami accepts. As he falls back asleep in the hotel, he returns to find his son fighting Asami, who is brandishing a can of mace. Shigehiko kicks her downstairs, breaking her neck. Aoyama tells his son to call the police and stares at the dying Asami, who repeats what she said on one of their dates about her excitement on seeing him again. Audition has been read as both feminist and misogynistic. Aoyama develops a paranoid fantasy of an attacking object: because he harbours sadistic thoughts towards women, he develops a fear that the object will retaliate. In Audition , the character of Asami is a victim of child abuse. Colette Balmain, in her book Introduction to Japanese Horror Film , described Asami as "just one more face of the wronged women in Japanese culture They are victims of repression and oppression, and only death and loneliness remain for them". The main production company behind Audition was the Japanese company Omega Project. To create Audition , Miike worked with many of his previous collaborators, such as cinematographer Hideo Yamamoto. Both of his parents died very young, and it's not something he talks about much". It's something I want to make the most of". Actor Ryo Ishibashi wanted to work with Miike and agreed to the role. Shiina's career was primarily as a model and she only began acting after being offered a film role while she was on holidays. Audition was shot in approximately three weeks, which was about one more week than usual for Miike's films at the time. The torture scene at the end of the film did not initially contain Asami's lines "Kiri-kiri-kiri". Only films not in competition qualify for the award. Audition was released theatrically in Japan on March 3, Factory released a DVD and Blu-ray release of the film that featured an introduction by Miike and actress Eihi Shiina, a full audio commentary by Miike and screenwriter Daisuke Tengan, and a documentary featuring the cast. The website's critical consensus reads, "An audacious, unsettling Japanese horror film from director Takashi Miike, Audition entertains as both a grisly shocker and a psychological drama". He is a reminder of where too many other Miike films have headed — straight for the video racks". In the early s, Time Out conducted a poll with several authors, directors, actors and critics who have worked within the horror genre to vote for their top horror films. Scheck The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Miike lulls the audience into a state of complacency with a studied, slow-moving, lightly comic first half before delivering a gruesome final section that makes Stephen King's Misery look wholesome"; the ending was "all the more shocking for the clinical way in which it is presented". Of the film's success with Western audiences, Miike states that he was not surprised, but that he had "no idea what goes on in the minds of people in the West and I don't pretend to know what their tastes are. And I don't want to start thinking about that. It's nice that they liked my movie, but I'm not going to start deliberately worrying about why or what I can do to make it happen again". By comparison, she said, the film was seen by many more people overseas, which she attributed to "good timing". After the release of Audition , Miike was going to adapt Murakami's novel Coin Locker Babies , but the project failed to find financing to get started. Audition has been described as an influence on " torture porn ". Miike's films live inside their characters, taking the temperature of their longings, the ridiculous ambitions they chase so obsessively and their need to experience the extreme to prove they're alive". This film leads you in one direction, skillfully hinting at a darker storyline for the otherwise meek and slight Asami until the final 15 minutes where we are introduced to a merciless monster. A perfect personification of the irrational rage of a woman scorned".
