Eihi Shiina in Audition (Takashi Miike, 1999)

Cast: Ryo Ishibashi, Eihi Shiina, Tetsu Sawaki, Jun Kunimura, Renji Ishibashi, Miyuki Matsuda, Toshie Negishi, Ren Osugi. Screenplay: Daisuke Tengan, based on a novel by Ryu Murakami. Cinematography: Hideo Yamamoto. Production design: Tatsuo Ozeki. Film editing: Yasushi Shimamura. Music: Koji Endo. 

Takashi Miike's Audtition evokes so many genres -- the femme fatale fable, the succubus myth, feminist revenge stories, body horror, even torture porn -- that it risks being overloaded with subtext. At the same time, combining all of those themes and tropes is what makes it rise above most horror movies. It's both gripping and audacious. Much of its audacity lies in the creation of an initially sympathetic protagonist, Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi), whom we originally see at the deathbed of his wife with his young son, who has just entered the hospital room with a present for his mother. Years later, we see Aoyama with his son, Shigehiko (Tetsu Sawaki), now a bright, handsome teenager with a pretty girlfriend and an absorbing interest in paleontology. Aoyama realizes that now that his son is almost grown up, he'll be left alone, so in a conversation with a friend, a film producer, a scheme is hatched: They will put out a casting call for young women, and in the audition process Aoyama will find another potential wife. Almost immediately, Aoyama is drawn to the beautiful Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina), whose résumé says she trained in classical ballet until she incurred a hip injury and is now only partially employed in a bar. Aoyama's infatuation will slowly turn into terror. The moral crux of the film lies in whether the grisly punishment Aoyama receives fits the crime, his sexist attempt to forestall his loneliness. On that score, at least, Audition fails: Asami's actions go well beyond anything endorsed by the Me Too movement. So in the debate whether Audition is feminist or misogynist, I have to conclude that it's neither. It's just a well-made horror movie without a message of any coherence.

Audition (Japón, 1999)

(53) Reseña escrita por: Y. G.

Dirige: Takashi Miike Guión: Daisuke Tengan Actúan: Eihi Shiina, Ryo Ishibashi, Jun Kunimura, Tetsu Sawaki

A finales del siglo pasado Takashi Miike estrenó Ōdishon, de Japón para el mundo, cinta que se colocó en el cine de culto, causando controversias por su contenido e inspirando a múltiples posteriores trabajos dentro del género.

Basada en la novela con el mismo nombre del también japonés Ryū Murakami, la película cuenta la historia de un hombre viudo de mediana edad que años después de perder a su esposa sigue el consejo de su hijo sobre volver a casarse. Con ayuda de un amigo- ambos están en el medio del entretenimiento- y a través de una audición que sirve tanto para su próximo proyecto laboral como personal, pone manos a la obra.

Uno de los puntos más sobresalientes de Audition es la sorpresa. Avanzados los minutos ocurre una explosión de sucesos que o bien te despegan de la pantalla, o bien lo contrario. Mientras mantiene un ritmo pareciese lento en la primera mitad, que se puede confundir con romanticismo y melancolía, con atisbos de elementos que nos dan la mínima idea de su culminación, de repente lo peor- mejor- llega.

Otro de sus fuertes, bastante aplaudible, es la caracterización de su protagonista. Un personaje víctima que es lo suficientemente inteligente para cobrar venganza sin ser anticipada. Que toma tintes feministas pueden decir algunos, poniendo en evidencia la forma en que una mujer es vista en la sociedad y su actuar a consecuencia de los abusos.

El espectador juzgará lo aceptable en lo que se le presenta, pero sin duda es una apuesta arriesgada llevar a la pantalla temas sensibles de esta forma. Recomendable para amantes del género, en su vertiente violenta, explícita, que juega con la mente, a veces demasiado oscura.

Horror movie 5/31

Audition (Miike, 1999)

You can’t tell me this isn’t a comedy.

Seriously, the first 35-40 minutes plays like a Tom Hanks film. You have this loving, overworked father Shingeharu (Roy Ishibashi) who lost his wife seven years prior. His son Shingehiko (Tetsu Sawaki) suggests that he should remarry, and he agrees. His best friend Yasuhisa (Jun Kunimura) , who happens to be a movie producer, suggests they hold a mock audition for him to find a potential wife. He becomes smitten with the girl Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina) after reading her essay for the “audition.” He asks her out four days after the audition, she just happened to be next to the phone.

This film makes frequent use of the long take wide shot. At first it’s odd and you question why the director chose to do this, but this film plays the long game. After a bag gets ruffled you’ll be dreading that shot. It’s honestly brilliant.

When the twist came I honestly couldn’t stop laughing. Out of all the girls he has a crush on just so happens to be a murderous psychopath. Womp womp.

This film gets real violent, real quick. It’s also unique because it’s a romcom turned horror film. Jim Rash would be a great lead in the American remake.
