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.

I am a fan of disturbing, limits pushing movies. I can easily say i've watched many of the genre. So let me express my puzzlement about the comments on this movie.A movie must be really original and really deeply offensive for mankind to be called "disturbing". This movie may be psychologically disturbing in some level but has nothing original and deeply disturbing, if you think about it. Let's assume you will make a disturbing movie about a family, what would you write to disturb people? Incest sex, violence, shared crime? And of course the family members must be insane. Everyone can think of these. So, what is so original and disturbing about this movie? Sorry i can't see it.

Sex and violence is part of many families. The Orlando area, Florida, and the world have been captivated by it for three years now, and it hardly seems to be slowing down.But, one hardly knows what to expect when a film opens with a father having sex with his daughter, a prostitute. Soon, we see his son beating his mother, who is soon covered in welts. The son, himself is a target of violence, as bullies lob firecrackers and shoot roman candles into his bedroom.Miike (Audition, Ichi the Killer) stretches boundaries in his films, and he certainly stretches them here. This is a highly dysfunctional family, even more so that the one we have been exposed to over the past few years here. Oh, did I mention, mom is a junkie and a prostitute also.Enter Visitor Q. He really doesn't do anything (except for mom, and later the daughter), but his mere presence changes the family. This film has some of the most disgusting scenes, made intentionally humorous by Miike. I won't describe them except to say they include pretty much everything from necrophilia, scatophilia, incest, rape to murder. The film is not for the faint of heart.Miike gives us a dazzling display of existential psychosis that will have us wondering about the mysteries of life.

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.
