nooware Shocking scenes for horror transgression purpose, critics of reality TV and media, severe vision of modern societies today in the world or more especially in Japan... this movie is everything and nothing about this.You get to watch the unwatchable and you do not react. Disturbing scenes should disturb you but systematically fail at that. Why? Don't ask why. There's a reason for that. This movie is neither reality, nor fiction, it's just art.Also, you can't compare this to a David Lynch movie, it's exactly the opposite. Lynch uses symbolism to dive deep into dreams and madness. There's no dream here, just pornography.There you could be tempted to compare this movie to David Cronenberg's work. No, it's not "about" pornography. It doesn't question you about your own perversion.So what is this movie? Inside the matrix of art, it's surrealism. Maybe Luis Buñuel is the closest for a comparison. Though here there's no beauty and talent, just strangeness in an order of facts.Visitor Q is about nothing but the director himself and what he tries to force out of his mind. Takashi Miike is raping his consciousness to produce out-of-no-dream no-reality.This movie has no purpose. Should art serve any such? This is the only question worth asking.Now the movie even fails at that. It's gross, not depraved and outside of reason. It even tries to order things, to make a story when nonsense should prevail. Worse, it brings a morale of sorts in the family, through the stranger and the unfolding of events.This movie tries hard to be surrealist then kills all the potential of its surrealism. Takashi Miike betrays himself with his unconscious lies. You get the feeling that what he's hiding destroys the show. This is just wannabe surrealism, and finally boring as hell.

Anmol Rawat Takashi Miike! This is the only reason why I watched this flick despite of the vague posters. Comedy is really something I feel can not be mixed healthily with the Horror Genre. Anyways in this movie nothing seemed balanced to me. The movie is very disturbing is what I had read. Yeah true it is really disturbing as the opening scene is of a father being seduced by his daughter and having sex. Maybe this is a factor people have given positive reviews on sites that the whole movie is full of these abnormal instances. So much of sex and violence is involved and the concept of incest is exploited. The movie makes no sense to me. The Visitor Q hardly makes sense and nothing is explained. Perverted things keep on happening without any explanation. Hard cuts everywhere ruin the continuity. If people find it redeeming wrt the concept, I strongly object. Things are too exaggerated here which helps in making it dumb. It was rubbish for me. I score just for a scene before climax which I can't tell here as will be considered a spoiler. The climax was again sick. This whole movie is very rubbish. No elements of horror. I could not laugh as well which means the Genre is not clear as well. What I felt was totally sick after watching it. Don't Waste your time.

BA_Harrison Meet the Yamazakis: father Kiyoshi, a failed TV reporter, is diddling his sexy prostitute daughter Miki; disturbed teenage son Takuya is being bullied at school, but dishes out the violence at home; and mum Keiko is turning tricks to fund her drugs habit.Into this extremely dysfunctional family unit comes a strange visitor who brings peace and harmony to the household through the power of lactation.Even by Takashi Miike's standards, Visitor Q is one hell of a weird ride, and is undoubtedly the director's most outrageous work to date (and considering this is the same guy who gave us Ichi the Killer, Gozu and Audition, that is really saying something!).From its opening sex scene between Kiyoshi and Miki (which narrowly avoids being overly explicit thanks to some judicious blurring) to the breast milk drenched finalé, this deranged shot on DV feature presents enough sex and violence for the most depraved of film fans, and even manages to answer that age old question "What should I do if I get my penis trapped inside a dead woman's vagina?'.Exactly what message Miike is trying to convey with this film is anyone's guess, but for wall-to-wall deviancy, you'll be hard pushed to find anything better (or should that be 'worse'?).I give Visitor Q a rating of 8 out of 10 purely for it's ability to render even the most jaded of viewers speechless.

jzappa Visitor Q opens with the title card "Have you ever done it with your Dad?" Through a digital camcorder, we watch a hot young prostitute as she seduces her father into having sex with her. Her father is the one with the camera, filming the scene for a documentary on Japanese youths. Eventually it seems the father is letting himself be seduced, and she tells him the price. They have sex, the father is a preemie, and the disappointed daughter reacts by doubling the price. The father then realizes the camera has been on throughout.Then another title card appears: "Have you ever been hit on the head?" What follows is a single shot, the content of which one could reasonably guess based on the title of the scene.Among all the connecting vignettes, twisted and vomit-provoking as can be, there is one which very telling, but by this time, the viewer is so taken aback that finding significance in what one is seeing seems so bewildering. But the scene involves the father in one of his many frantic situations with his camera, running off to the camera about how he is supposed to feel. He doesn't know how. And neither do we.Miike is known for his go-for-broke gross-out violence, blood, guts and gore, not to mention all the perverse sexuality we tend to see in his countless films, and many of them he has churned out as simply as just a fun job. When asked why, for instance, in Dead or Alive, a character produces a bazooka from thin air, Miike laughed and said "Why shouldn't he have a bazooka? Don't all guys fantasize about bazookas?" With this direct-to-video shocker, the viewer realizes how aware he is of the effect of his content, and in so being, never indicates to us what we are supposed to feel. Most movies, most TV shows, certainly the news and most other forms of media output indicate through a basic film language what we are morally supposed to be feeling. Miike doesn't find this social phenomenon so easily done, and builds this $60,000 cult film around those aforementioned forms of media, exploiting the production's conception as an exercise in exploring the benefits of low-cost Digital Video to replicate documentary footage and home movies, which lathers the film with a sense of realism, which contrasts wildly with the freakishly bizarre scenes and pitch-black humor. He keeps this tense juxtaposition consistent and never allows us for a moment to sit back and relax, to shift into auto-pilot.As a result, watching Visitor Q becomes this grotesque experience throughout which we realize how unaccustomed we are to human perversions. Am I repulsed, exasperated, laughing, compassionate, overwrought and bewildered? I am never signaled. You're on your own. And consequently, I felt all of those things.
