Audition

About This Movie

So, 'Audition' is this quirky piece from '97 that straddles the line between comedy and something a bit off-kilter. You’ve got this charming Korean guy who dreams of fame, but he's stuck behind a computer screen, working as an FX programmer. The whole premise of him accidentally merging his image with a female model? That's a unique twist that makes you chuckle and cringe at the same time. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the offbeat vibe. The absurdity in the situations he finds himself in, paired with some practical effects that really lean into the absurd, gives it a charmingly bizarre tone. It’s distinct for its commentary on identity and the superficiality of fame, all while being pretty light-hearted.
