Audiţia

Shigeharu Aoyama makes documentary films and wants to marry again. His wife died seven years ago. With his friend Yoshikawa, he sets up a false film audition. Thousands of women apply for what seems to be a leading role. In fact, Aoyama is looking for a wife. He falls for Yamasaki Asami, a beautiful former ballet dancer. He learns the horrors of her past too late.

Ryū Murakami’s novel turns a search for love into a frightening tale. Florin Oprina translated this edition from Japanese. The book also inspired Takashi Miike’s 1999 cult film. That film found success at festivals in Europe and America.
