Review of Visitor Q (2001) by Jon P — 07 Mar 2013

Loaded with outrageous sexual imagery and outlandish humour, Takashi Miike's tumultuous shocker is like a niche porno on acid. Miike revels remorselessly in deranged taboo and bizarre character motivations; his ventures into butchery, breast milk and bewildering plot-turns forcing the weird-o-meter of the scale.

However, the film's nonsensical nature and pitch-black gags provide charming comic relief from its excessive oddities, rendering Miike's endeavours deliriously entertaining. Deliciously sordid shocker in true Japanese style.
