Audition

Oh you're going to love this little treat. A company executive, named Aoyama, has been a widow for several years. He is lonely and he needs a companion. Even his son recommends he should move on and get married again. Forget searching for the right one, Aoyama has a better plan. He's going to have auditions for a movie that doesn't exist in order to find his next wife. You either think the man is deranged or pretty damn clever. Either way, you find sympathy for him because he is rather pathetic. It isn't surprising when he takes an immediate liking to Asami. Asami is young, frail and very pretty. But of course, what you see is never what you get. Asami has a past that she wants to share with Aoyama and the two seem well made for one another.

But shit starts to happen and you aren't quit sure what the fuck you're witnessing. A phone rings immediately setting off a bag that is holding the body of a human being. Beside the phone, Asami sits waiting for a call from Aoyama. She is hunched over, in the dark not acknowledging the moving body bag at all. What the fuck is going on?

Aoyama is unaware of Asami's secret. Why? Because he has no idea where she lives.

Finally, Aoyama and Asami spend a night together. She demands that she "be the only one he loves." And if your crazy radar hasn't gone off yet up to this point, well... it gets even worse. Asami disappears when Aoyama wakes in the morning and he goes on a frantic search to find her. I'm not going to ruin the rest of the film for you.. but let's just say the film seems to be making a statement about monogamous relationships. A heads up; this statement involves piano wire.
