Björn recenserade Audition av Ryū Murakami

I should probably rewatch the movie, too. Murakami's take on the story feels both more intricate and clumsier; the themes of desire, empty consumtion and the hunt for something authentic is vintage Murakami, but at times Asami and her motivation feel too telegraphed, too straightforward, losing the ambiguity of Miike's movie. Still, that works for Murakami, and it's still a pretty powerful short-sharp-shock take on being careful what you wish for when you have the power both to make it happen and to forget that that "what" is actually a "who".
