FFFA: Audition (2K Restoration)

“Shocking, scabrous, satirical... a stomach-turning masterpiece.” - The Guardian

A widower accepts his friend's offer to audition girls in order to search for his new wife. However, the girl he likes isn't who she claims to be. 

From prolific Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, Audition is essential big-screen viewing that presents one of the greatest genre shifts in film history, as what starts as an eerie romantic drama ends in diabolical horror. One of the all-time classics of the horror film cannon and a piercing work of social commentary, Audition’s edges are just as sharp in 2023 as they were over 20 years ago.
