AUDITION
Agreed. Hell of a movie. Some of the most brutal filmmaking I've ever seen. AUDITION's definitely one of my favorite Asian horror flicks. Genuinely disturbing, in ways that *very* few horror movies -- even the great ones coming out of Japan lately -- are these days.
Highly, highly recommended. This movie will fuck your brain. James N. http://members.tripod.com/~NEWMANATOR/index.html

It's shown a lot on IFC--so maybe you could record it and save some money. I don't know if it's shown this month, but I'm sure they'll stick it back into rotation soner or later. They usually do.

I found the first half quite slow but the second half more than makes up for it. Probably the only time I've been in a packed theatre where a syncronised gasp and recoil has taken place.

Since I don't really want to start a new thread just to ask this question I'll just ask it here. I've haven't seen many movies from asia but I've heard Battle Royale is quite good, could anyone give me a short review of the movie?

Both Audition and Battle Royale are great pieces of cinema. Like was said before, the less you know about Audition before you see it, the better. But, basically it will lull you into a false sense of security before presenting you with an onslaught of unsettling imagery. Check out other Miike Takashi (the director of Audition, who pumps out at least 3 films every year) films if you want to see some glorious Asian movies, which often defy genre, aswell as the senses. Battle Royale is simply one of the best movies ever, and everyone should own a copy of it. Kids thrown together on an island, given a weapon each, and told to kill each other. And the evil transfer student is a manga villain braught to life on the screen :o
