A family on the brink of collapse struggles with its dark dynamics. The father, a fired newscaster, obsessively documents sensational events in hopes of regaining his job, while ignoring his son’s bullying and his daughter’s disturbing relationship with an older man. The son retaliates by beating his mother, who becomes a drug addict and resorts to prostitution for money. This destructive cycle continues until an unknown man enters their lives, altering their fate. (Source: kisskh) Edit Translation

Reviews
Takashi Miike is known to make extreme films with plenty of violence, sex and sexual violence. But he is also known to have a message and a meaning with it all, it is not shocking or controversial for the sake of being so, and this is what makes Visitor Q a surprisingly deep and touching film. I warn you though, Visitor Q is not an easy or comfortable film to view.
Even for the most hardened viewer this is hard to stomach. It is violent, there is incest and necrophilia and many odd fetishes throughout. This would deter most people but if you are open minded and willing to break out of your shell this movie is oddly funny and touching and has a really good message about family.
The story is simple, but this is not a bad thing, it allows room for all the characters to develop over the course of the film. It is the actors who should be commended for taking on such a challenging film, they all do such amazing jobs at portraying sick, perverted people.
If this is your first Miike film I would strongly recommend seeing Audition, Ichi the Killer or the Dead or Alive trilogy before seeing this as this is easily his most confronting film.
