For me, Audition was just Ok, and more hype than anything else. The film has a slow burn feel to it, which I was really diggin, the first 30-45 mins was ACE but Miike eventually took it and went totally to the other end of the spectrum with it.. and just lost me. And now I know that's just Miike being Miike, but by the time I got to the ending I really didnt care anymore.
Props to the torture scene and that dude in a sack was just a trip - but it doesnt make a movie for me.
