The film would catapult Miike to the international scene and pave the way for such other genre delights as Ichii the Killer and The Happiness of the Katakuris. Recent widower Shigharu Aoyama is advised by his son to find a new wife, agreeing Shigeharu seeks the advice of a colleague having been out of the dating scene for many years. Taking advantage of their position as a film company they stage an audition. Interviewing a series of women, Shigeharu becomes enchanted by Asami, a quiet, 24-year-old woman, who is immediately responsive to his charms. But soon things take a very dark and twisted turn as we find that Asami isn t what she seems to be... Pulling the audience into a story that will lead to one of the most harrowing climaxes in cinema history, Miike twists and turns us through delirious editing and shocking visuals for one of the most depraved nightmares of all time! SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS Review: A horror masterpiece - I will admit I didn’t know what to expect going into this movie but it was brilliant. The second half of the movie is disturbing however I recommend this to any fan of horror. There is no dubbed version anywhere so as long as you can deal with subtitles then there should be zero issues with this movie Review: Review of the 2016 Arrow Blu-Ray - Let's pretty much skip past talking about the film here: long story short, it's one of my favourite films of the last 20 years. I mainly want to talk about this release, which is a 2K remaster with a stack of extras. How does it look? Acceptable. It's a significant upgrade on the Tartan DVD I own but it's often quite grainy and soft. However, I get the feeling that this is more of a problem with the source rather than anything else. Suffice to say that it's the best Audition has ever looked outside of a cinema. The extras are excellent. You get two commentary tracks, although the Miike one is actually just an interview rather than a scene by scene walk-through. The other one is by Tom Mes, the author of the definitive Miike book Agitator. This is detailed, scholarly and psychoanalytical: you're mileage may vary depending on how much you enjoy these kind of tracks. There's also some shortish interviews that seem to be the same as the Region A blu, plus a bunch of new ones. Essentially, this has everything the Region A blu has alongside some new features and a bump in picture quality. So if you don't own Audition already or are looking to upgrade to HD, this is the definitive version and will probably remain so. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Akemi Suyama, Ayaka Izumi, Daisuke Tengan, Eihi Shiina, Hideo Yamamoto, Jun Kunimura, Ken Teruishi, Masato Arima, Misato Nakamura, Miyuki Matsuda, Ren Osugi, Renji Ishibashi, Ryo Ishibashi, Satoshi Hukushima, Shigeru Saiki, Takashi Miike, Tetsu Sawaki, Yuriko Hirooka Contributor Akemi Suyama, Ayaka Izumi, Daisuke Tengan, Eihi Shiina, Hideo Yamamoto, Jun Kunimura, Ken Teruishi, Masato Arima, Misato Nakamura, Miyuki Matsuda, Ren Osugi, Renji Ishibashi, Ryo Ishibashi, Satoshi Hukushima, Shigeru Saiki, Takashi Miike, Tetsu Sawaki, Yuriko Hirooka See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 882 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05027035013770 | | Language | Japanese | | Manufacturer | Arrow Video | | Number of discs | 1 | | Runtime | 1 hour and 51 minutes | | Studio | Arrow Films | ## Images ![Audition [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bcNKpZAEL.jpg) ![Audition [Blu-ray] [Region B] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91xiaVI3OkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A horror masterpiece *by O***R on 21 March 2026* I will admit I didn’t know what to expect going into this movie but it was brilliant.

Although this is a gristly, thoroughly nasty horror film it has (as is the case with many considered and notable films in the genre) a much deeper social message – particularly regarding the way Japanese society treats women. Adapted from Ryū Murakami`s novel, it's a relatively slow-moving film, ostensibly a romantic mystery for the first two chapters; with the help of a film-industry friend, Aoyama - a middle-aged widower - sets up fake film auditions in order to meet a potential wife; that this is regarded as an acceptable idea by both men is some indication of the nature of Japan`s male-dominated culture. That Asami, the unassuming 24-year-old whom he meets, turns the tables on him - and in such an unexpected way – is a seriously radical act - never mind the obvious shock factor of it`s violence. This movie has been cited as the inspiration for the “torture porn” sub-genre of horror films – particularly from America, but it's cultural setting makes it much more powerful in context. A difficult film to sit through and a genuinely disturbing one on first-time viewing; it is quite rightly regarded as a modern horror classic, but not one I care to watch very often. The standard UK DVD is - of course – in Japanese language with English subtitles; the only extras are a short interview with Miike and a couple of trailer reels. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/50684783-audition-blu-ray-region-b](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/50684783-audition-blu-ray-region-b) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
