A Politics of Excess:
A Politics of Excess:
Violence and Violation in Miike Takashi’s Audition
This chapter examines the origins of extreme cinema as a politicized cinema, which uses an extreme aesthetic as a single aspect of its radical politics. It also examines the violence in Miike Takashi's Audition and links the violence within “Asia Extreme” films to a politics of excess. It argues that “Asia Extreme” cinema is an overtly political cinema and that the films of Miike Takashi represent a challenge to the complacent cinema of the studio system, especially through an aesthetic of “excess” and “a politic of aggression.”
