Synopsis
In one of the most notorious horror films ever made, recent widower Shigeharu sets out to find a new wife by staging 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 who she seems. Director MIIKE Takashi’s international breakthrough employs delirious editing and shocking visuals as it twists and turns its way towards one of the most harrowing climaxes in cinema history.
