Visitor Q 09/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

A dysfunctional family are visited by a mysterious stranger. Equal parts Pasolini, Ozu, and John Waters, this may be Miike's finest film. A struggling news reporter (Kenichi Endo, The Raid 2) keeps pushing boundaries to impress his superiors, finally winding up in a motel room with his estranged daughter. Back home, his bullied son takes his violent rages out on his mother, who turns to heroin to cope but must prostitute herself to afford the habit. Into this scene of severe family dysfunction steps Q, a mysterious stranger with a knack for knowing just what each member needs most, whether it's a rock to the head, a sexual reawakening, or a bout of murder. From the mind of Takashi Miike comes his most transgressive film yet: unflinching yet darkly humorous, Visitor Q pushes the limits of filmic representation as far as they will go. Equal parts Pasolini, Ozu and John Waters, this may well be Miike's finest film.
