 Actors or Prostitutes? March 23, 2006

"Visitor Q" is an extraordinary motion picture. At first I was worried by the use of video as it normally seems cheap and crappy but then I noticed the angles that the director was employing and his abundant technique. A framed picture is a protagonist in one scene.
I had to avert my eyes at points. I have never liked needles. MIIKE seems to love them. The use of the hypodermic syringe was used brilliantly in his Motion Picture "Audition". A classic of modern Cinema in my opinion. The creativity in Visitor Q is boundless, slightly sick, I grant you, yet assured and beautifully acted. This is a strong film. The ideas are warped and execution is masterful.
TAKASHI MIIKE is a very talented filmmaker. He bears his soul with a project like "Visitor Q" and that is rare and brave. I mentioned acting earlier and find myself asking, "How far did these actors go?"
History has shown that the first actors were prostitutes. I sometimes wonder at the actors that walk the red carpet and ask, "What has changed?" Actors will do anything a director asks. This cast must have had great faith in their Director and great trust. The acting is faultless. At one point I did make the comparison with another great film "Man Bites Dog" because I found myself laughing at situations that are so real and horrifying. That feeling is strange and I'm not sure I like it.
I cannot criticize this film in anyway. I still feel that the over use of video in Motion Pictures can be cheap and nasty lookin' but "Visitor Q" proves me wrong. Imagination overcomes any limitation.

Being described as deranged makes me interested in a movie, though often I am let down. This movie is the real thing, perhaps the most outrageous movie ever made. Beginning with unnatural sex and continuing with a catalogue of unparalled perversity, Visitor Q will have you watching or turning away in disbelief. A documentary maker and his dysfunctional family interact in increasingly bizarre ways. The films follows the family members through violence to full psychotic breakdown. The narrative is perhaps not the main thing, it is an accumulation of shocking moments, that is filmed in realistic intensity on digital video. Be warned, this may be too much for some viewers, though recommended for the broadminded and fans of extreme asian cinema.

The wierd and wonderful (if a little disturbed) world of Miike comes to the forfront in this most entertaining of tragic comedies. When i switched this on i did not really know what to expect. All i can say to the uninitiated is to expect the worst times that by ten and the be prepared to laugh and consider why you laughed just a little later.I must recomend this film as one to watch for the avid viewer of eastern shock. If this film had been made by an american it would not have even made it to DVD. Thank you Takashi Miike for push all of those boundary buttons.

Takashi Miike is one of Japans and the worlds most prolific and originaldirectors. In VISITOR Q he confirms this with a shocking and subversivetale of a family brought back together by the arrival of the said Visitor.The family consists of a father a journalist who is using his son, who isbeing bullied at school, as the subject of a his new documentary and inturn the son is taking his frustration out by beating up the mother of thefamily, who is also a heroin addict, while the daughter is also working asa prostitute. The visitor brings this very dysfunctional family backthrough rape, necrophilia, lactation, and murder! Shot on Digital videoand at times certainly shocking and disturbing, the film is none the lessa brilliant and subversive tale of a family coming back together throughsubversive ways. If you like Miike, or if you like disturbing butbrilliant filmmaking and havent seen this yet then dont miss it.

Loved Audition. Thought this would be gud. Was I Wrong? Hell Yes. This has to be one of the most pointless films ever. Its content only seems to be there to get itself noticed. No real soryline. Everything is over the top. Maybe there is a meaning to the film but they could have showed it through other means. I really would not recomend this to any one. There are so many other over the top movies which are miles better. E.g. Ichi The Killer. If you want some eye candy with nothing more behind it then this is for U. But watch it before you buy it.
