Hello Zach, What a coincidence. We just got a DVD player yesterday and the first movie we rented was Audition (in fact it was one of the two first movies). My wife couldn't stay the episode ten minutes before the end, but she came back to see the very final part. I cannot say that I liked (or understood?) the idea of Audition, but it is truly one of the best examples how to communicate with the audience using very limited art techniques. If you think about what is shown on the screen, you realize that there are no violent details or thrilling scenes comparing to any action or suspense movie. The miracle is how the director makes you feel so strong about what happening in the film. I'm not sure that I want to see it again, but I would like to know if it is worth it to watch other Miike's movies. If yes, which ones?
