Audition

“She always gets a part.”

Seven years after his wife's death, Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi) agrees to a friend's plan to stage a film audition so he can look over a line of women hoping to be cast. He settles on Asami Yamazaki (Eihi Shiina), the quiet one, and Takashi Miike lets the story stay soft and polite while Shigeharu falls for her. Asami sits very still, her hands folded, and says almost nothing back.
