I thought the Audition was a terrific movie. The slowness in developing the characters added to my horror. From the beginning I felt the man was going to get something he deserved at the end, toying with lives the way he did, manipulating an audition so he can decide who is ok for him. His chauvenist conduct had to be severely punished. It made me wonder if this story worked that way because of the Japanese male culture. Are things still that male dominated and women submissive over there? The shy softness and gentility of the main character made her actions more horrific. Her torture was playful and done with giggling glee. That moving sack too - great shiver. And did she vomit in a plate and feed it to the thing in the sack? Tsk Tsk Tsk. Too cool.
