Review of Audition (2000) by Liam U — 01 Dec 2011
The film's not completely without value but it's rather punishing to the audience. Also this may have no bearing but from the DVD extras Director Takashi Miike seems like a huge tool and his very pretentious movie swings between dull, hateful, and just plain incomprehensible.
Perhaps by ending his story a little differently Miike could have opened up doors to broader interpretations, but even that wouldn't excuse the reason for this movie's existence, which seems to be its sadistic third-act torture sequence.
By the time I was finished watching I was asking myself why I bothered.
