Audition [22]


Shigeharu has been a widow for the past few years and has always been loyal to his wife, whether dead or alive. His son and co-worker talk him into starting to date, Shigeharu and his co-worker and close friend come up with the idea of an audition. The scheme behind the audition is that Shigeharu will choose one of the actresses, date them and maybe even re-marry. Once he sees Asami’s picture he knows she’s the one. His buddy starts double checking her information but can’t find anything solid. He warns off Shigeharu but he just can’t let his feelings go, he’s falling for her and we are given the impression that she is too.
This is a love story gone horror and nightmare-ish the anticipation and build up is hectic. Shigeharu starts looking around for Asami but he can't find a trace of her, or truth in anything she's told him. He ends up in a world of confusion, where what he feels in real life and his nightmares are both real, a mirror world where all he feels is pain. After growing up in a world of incest, masochism and sadism who’s to say Asami is really the sweetheart Shigeharu believes her to be?
