Audition (Takashi Miike, 1999)
Based on the novel by Ryu Murakami, Audition created waves when it debuted on the festival circuit and has since developed a strong following for its visceral interpretation of the source material; this is a horror film for the not-so-faint of heart. ‘A widower takes an offer to screen girls at a special audition, arranged for him by a friend to find him a new wife. The one he fancies is not who she appears to be after all.’ Hosted by Little Miss Risk.

Fresh off their phenomenal tour of Texas, The Spice Gurls finally return to the Rio to bring Spice World to life. Get your platform shoes British accents ready, people. Time to spice up your life! *Tickets $12 in costume/advance or $15/door
