Posted: 8/9/2006A review of Audition by AbsolutJohn1
An amazingly insane yet unbelievably credible film - I want to see it again, but I dont know if I could handle it. Balzac once wrote For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? This does NOT apply to AUDITION. The only pleasure here is by Asami as she squeals with delight while expertly using the piano wire in the dreadful closing moments. Not to give too much away, but Ill never view acupuncture the same way again. Takashi compells you to view the screen from between your fingers - which - in case we all forgot, was the main point in a horror movie - something that lingers in your dreams weeks later...
