Sol Roth's the Audition

In the monologue film the main actor switches between different roles and characters.

He is a survivor at one point. In the next shot, he is playing different role. The expression of a variety defines the originality of the film.

From a technical aspect Black and white film may seem like an outdated technique, however it has many advantages. It changes a movie thematically.

I'm Sol Roth, so this is probably the most biased review of all time, but I believe this movie came out well. This began as a quarantine challenge to myself and then evolved from there. I love acting and I love it when entire stories and characters come alive from raw and minimalist performances. I wanted to create a homage to this minimalist style, but with modern ideas from current monologues to explore. I love black and white, and was happy to use it here, to focus the attention on the performance and craft this story for you. I hope you enjoy it.

I really like how you did this and the energy that you put on it! Hardwork + good energy always brings good results!

First of all, I decided to give this a try without the faintest idea of what this movie was about and I got to say, it was pleasantly entertaining. The movie was more about the art of expression and this movie actually blends the performance of different kinds of roles from different genres pretty well. If you're looking for actual acting, this movie might just be perfect for you. At first glance, it might seem pretty boring since this is just a compilation of a guy auditioning for different kinds of roles but as it goes on, you'll come to realize that this is so much more. The transition from one role to another feels so seamless that you'll feel like the flow of the movie is dancing to a rhythm.

Usually when you are watching someone act, you'll slowly start to get immersed in their acting if their acting is good but if suddenly they change their roles and take on the role of a completely different type of character, you might feel like the flow the acting has broken which might leave you with a bit of a bitter taste. This movie does that exact thing but it flows so well that you get more immersed as more different kinds of roles are played. That goes to show how much the director put effort in his work. This is one of the strongest points of this movie. As with every movie, this also has some weak points but they are overshadowed by the sheer amount of passion oozing out from this movie.

All in all, this movie was well worth my time and was very entertaining as well.

Sol Roth tasks himself with a string of 'audition pieces' which definitely shows a range, plus a through line that will change for each individual viewer. Although the Audio takes some getting used to, he has obviously thrown himself into the Project and there are some wonderful surprises throughout.
