Miike's R2 UK The Audition DVD -- Cut or Uncut?
I just saw Takashi Miike's Ichi The Killer and now I'm eager to catch up with The Audition. After seeing Ichi though, I can't imagine the UK censors not doing to a Miike movie the same thing Ichi does to his victims.
Can any one tell me if The Auditon UK DVD is cut or uncut? Anamorphic?
Thanks,
Ted

It may be anamorphic but the picture quality is almost unwatchably dark. It looks as if they encoded through a piece of smoked glass but the subtitles are excellent. The R3 amazingly has a much better picture but the subtitles can make it hard to follow at times. I guess it's up to you which is the lesser of two evils.

On a slightly related note, when I saw it in the theater it was really dirty and soft, the contrast seemed right. Maybe its just the price we all have to pay for offbeat International horror.
