Eihi Shiina!!!!
Okay, I'm only like halfway through this film, so I can't give a full review of it yet, but I love the way it reels you in so slowly. It took me a while to realise that I actually cared about these fictional characters and their lives.
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, I recognised Eihi Shiina! Audition is one of my favourite films from Japan - so devilishy twisted - and Eihi played her role with suitable subtlety. I'm glad to see she has continued this acting style to this film and I hope she flourishes even further in her career.
