25th anniversary screening of Takashi Miike's most controversial work, presented on Miike's birthday via a new transfer from the original master tape!
A deeply dysfunctional family is pushed to the brink when a mysterious stranger enters their home, unleashing long-suppressed tensions and laying bare their most disturbing taboos. The visitor's silent presence sets off a series of shocking transformations, compelling each family member to confront their darkest impulses.
Blending pitch-black humor with razor-sharp social commentary, VISITOR Q fearlessly explores subjects such as incest, necrophilia, and bullying, laying bare the absurdity, cruelty, and unexpected resilience of modern family life. Shot in just five days on raw MiniDV, it stands as one of Takashi Miike’s most audacious and unforgettable films.
In Japanese with English subtitles.
"In a filth epic that stands next to Salò or Pink Flamingos, Visitor Q isn’t for the faint of heart... Even when it stacks up to other films from Miike, there’s not much that can touch this." EJ Moreno, Flickering Myth
"The craziest thing about Visitor Q is how damn fun it is to watch. Miike stages the endless succession of depravity as if it’s a Farrelly Brothers snuff film." Matt Barone, Complex
"Once every decade or so, you get zapped with a flick that's so cringe-inducing you start to wonder whether it was actually made by a maniac... This movie is sick, sicker and sickest. I loved it, of course." Joe Bob Briggs
