Abstract

Brown tackles thorny debates in horror studies concerning the terms “torture porn” and “Asia Extreme.” In response to the shortcomings of the two terms, Brown develops the Artaudian concept of “cinema of cruelty” in relation to two exemplary revenge horror films—the Japanese horror Audition (Ōdishon; dir. Miike Takashi, 1999) and the Korean horror Oldboy (Oldeuboi; dir. Park Chan-wook, 2003)—each of which offers engagements with graphic violence but situates that violence in a way that eludes the conceptual restrictions of “torture porn” and “Asia Extreme.”

I have outlined the English usage of the word “outrage” since that is the term used by Tony Williams; however, it should be pointed out that there is considerable overlap between the connotations associated with the English “outrage” and the various Japanese terms for “outrage,” such as muhō, bōkō, bōgyaku, bōjō, daiaku, rōzeki, etc.

Audition appears on numerous lists for the best horror films in the history of cinema. For example, The Guardian, a respected British newspaper, ranks Audition as “the 21st Best Horror Film of All Time,” positioning it just below Dracula (1931) and above Blair Witch Project (1999). See “The 25 Best Horror Films of All Time,” The Guardian (October 22, 2010), http://​www.​guardian.​co.​uk/​film/​2010/​oct/​22/​audition-miike-odishon-horror (accessed July 22, 2016).

One of the most controversial scenes in Oldboy occurs after Oh Dae-su has been released from captivity and enters a restaurant where Mi-do is working as a sushi chef. The scene in question shows Oh Dae-su consume a live octopus whole. Although devouring an octopus whole while it is still alive may seem abject in the West, it is considered a perfectly normal, even mundane, part of Korean cuisine, especially at seaside restaurants located in coastal towns. Nevertheless, it is also considered potentially dangerous if the tentacles get stuck in one’s throat, causing suffocation. In a Korean context, Oh Dae-su’s act of devouring live octopus is not evidence of how dehumanized (or animalized) he has become, but rather a reaffirmation of his newfound freedom to eat something other than the Chinese dumplings he had been served throughout his captivity. On the other hand, the fact that it was auto-suggestion that prompted Oh Dae-su to enter the sushi restaurant in the first place may be construed as implying that such “freedom” is ultimately illusory. While filming this scene, the actor who plays Oh Dae-su (Min-sik Choi) actually devoured four live octopi on set. Since live animals were killed on film, this particular scene has caused quite a bit of controversy outside of South Korea. Perhaps it is for this reason that when Oldboy received the Grand Prix Award at Cannes, Director Park Chan-wook made a point of expressing gratitude to the sacrificed octopi during his acceptance speech!

Later, Mi-do hallucinates a giant ant sitting in a subway car, which she tells Oh Dae-su is symptomatic of loneliness.

When considering the role of sound design in Oldboy, mention must also be made of the sound reproduction equipment (in the form of reel-to-reel tape and cassette players) that occasionally appears in close-up. Such sound reproduction devices appear at pivotal moments in the narrative as if to underscore that some of Oh Dae-su’s most traumatic memories are on tape loop. The only way to overcome the trauma is to change or destroy the tape.

Martin, 58. Although Martin also employs the term “cinema of cruelty” in a chapter title devoted to Miike’s Audition, he does not offer any sort of sustained engagement with its characteristics or derivation from Artaud’s Theater of Cruelty. In fact, no mention is made of Artaud at all in Martin’s study, which focuses far more attention on the reception of Audition than on the film itself.
