Toussaint EganĪudition is available to stream on Arrow Video and Hi-Yah!, for free with ads on Tubi, and for free on Kanopy with a library card.
In the end, though, these are just words. The film descends into a macabre fugue state of assumptions, misdirections, and cinematic sleights of hand, with dreams that feel almost real set against a reality too terrifying to be anything but. Miike’s film holds its cards relatively close to its chest for most of its run time, unspooling its tightly wound mystery like garrote wire before peeling back its skin of meet-cute artifice to reveal a pulsing mass of horrors roiling beneath.
The only difference is that Asami has embraced that darkness and made it her own. There is something dark inside Asami, yes, but there is a latent darkness inside of Aoyama too, arguably even darker. His search ultimately leads him to Asami Yamazaki, a beautiful former ballerina with a murky past.Īs Aoyama grows closer to his new love interest, he finds himself caught deeper and deeper in a web of intrigue that threatens to tear him apart emotionally, psychologically, and yes - even physically. Aoyama agrees to a proposal by his friend, a film producer, to take part in an audition for a nonexistent film in order to find a potential bride from the candidates. Years after losing his wife to a terminal illness, widower Shigeharu Aoyama is urged by his son to get back out in the world and find someone. In Audition, Takashi Miike’s 1999 psychological horror-thriller, love is a consensual fiction.
