Tuesdays are for cult classics at the Digital Gym Cinema! We’ll be taking it back (sometimes waaaaaayy back) and revisiting some tried and true cinematic faves from our collective long-lost video store days. For our final screening in November, we’re ditching the “feel-good” romantic vibes and embracing something more sinister… 

Tagline: A widower in the film industry sets up a fake movie audition to find a new wife. He becomes enchanted with Asami, a young woman who is very responsive to his charms. However, things aren’t what they seem in Takashi Miike’s shocking, divisive, and iconaclastic horror film. 

AUDITION was the turn-of-the-millenium flash point that signaled the talent of Miike. With this movie, Miike delivers a nerve-shredding and open-ended exploration of male anxiety, misogyny, trauma,  empowerment, and revenge.

Critic Quotes: “A stomach-turning masterpiece.” – Guardian

“It gnaws on your mind like a famished larva, and you can fully expect to have a rough time of it later, when you close your eyes and try to sleep.” – Austin Chronicle

“Viewers will either love Audition or hate it, but few will be unmoved.” – New York Post
