Review of Visitor Q (2001) by Alex C — 08 Feb 2010
The stranger coming into a city or a family and being a cataylist is a well worn film trope, but somehow, takashi miike's visitor q, makes it new, and weird. easily the strangest filmmaker alive, miike's film is, not surprisingly, bizarre.
how bizarre? how disturbing? let's put it this way, it starts with incest and goes steeply downhill from there. he puts one of the most fucked up families imaginable in the frame, adds a silent stranger, and an oxymoronic, almost chirpy tone, the end result of which plays as a disturbing satire of the how even the most awful problems are resolved by the end of a film's run time.
