Audition

Saw Audition. It was pretty harrowing. I handled this Takashi Miike film much better than the last I saw (Ichi the Killer, which I saw not having any idea what I was in for) but it was still pretty harrowing. Enough had been spoiler-ed for me so I knew most of the big scenes already (kiri-kiri-kiri-kiri!) but I hadn't been told of the psycho-drama beforehand which I got a kick out of. I wish we'd seen more of the girl. Her back story was covered in a very hand-waving way I felt. I'm perhaps morbidly interested in more of her.
