Takashi Miike retrospective starts tonight

The Austin Film Society and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are presenting a seven-week, 15-film retrospective of Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike, which kicks off tonight with Audition.

Screenings are Tuesdays at 7pm at the downtown Alamo Drafthouse through April 12, and Saturdays and Sundays at 4pm at the new Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar through March 27 -- and they're all free for AFS members. More information can be found here, and the Austin Chronicle has a good article previewing the series here.

(Meanwhile, the Harry Ransom Center's Brit Noir retrospective continues at the Downtown Alamo this Thursday with Night and the City, and next Thursday with Get Carter.)
