Audition


20th Anniversary Screening! One of the most well-crafted, impactful J-horror films ever made returns to the big screen. Recent widower Shigeharu is advised by his son to find a new wife. They stage “auditions” for a new girlfriend that masquerade as an acting job. Shigeharu becomes enchanted with a spooky twentysomething responsive to his charms. Audition pulls the audience through a wrenching exploration of deep male fears and the stereotype of submissive Japanese women.
