Audition (2000)
Shigeharu Aoyama owns a video production company. His wife died seven years ago. When his son, Shigehiko, suggests he should think about re-marrying before he gets too old, Aoyama decides to take his advice. He seeks help from his friend and colleague, Yoshikawa, whose idea is simple: they can use a casting session for a no-go project to audition for potential wives. Aoyama spends secretive evenings looking through the selection of application forms and photographs, and finds himself inextricably drawn to the image of a 24-year-old ex-dancer, Asami Yamasaki. On the day of the audition, her mysterious charm and obedient nature make such an impact upon Aoyama that he arranges to see her again. As the relationship between the two develops, Yoshikawa becomes increasingly uneasy about his friend's choice and, conducting his own investigation into Asami's past, sets out to prove that she is not who she claims to be. After spending many romantic evenings with Asami, Aoyama becomes increasingly convinced that she is the woman for him. However, his romantic ideals are about to be shattered in the most unimaginably cruel way, as the woman of his dreams takes him deep into her sadistic and vengeful world.
