Saw 1st half of T. Miike’s #Audition. Felt sleepy. Went to bed. Left kids to finish. Hope they enjoyed it!
Just kidding! #Audition structurally echoes #TheLocket (1946). Plotted like #PlayMistyforMe, w’ a pinch of commitment-fearing #MonstersInc. …
… Not quite Pixar, though! Rank misogyny? The perfidy of men? Maybe in the end it’s pure, nasty Guignol. Very well calculated, distributed & executed too.
Here’s that last #Audition reference. #GrandGuignol: http://www.thetheatreofblood.com/Guignol.html
