Audition has been read as feminist or misogynistic by different people, based on various scenes. However, Ryû Murakami (novelist), Daisuke Tengan (screenwriter) and Takashi Miike (director) have always denied any overt feminist angles in the movie. In fact, film scholars have pointed out that Western feminism has very little traction in Japan, and depictions of abuse against women (such as rape and violence) in Japanese popular culture are not only very common, they are also broadly accepted. Most cinema experts therefore see the movie as an abrupt reversal of these gender roles, out of an expression of male fear of what women could be capable of.
