i felt a little uneasy here and there watch this flick and mostly due to the fact that i be watch it in a sort of view room on a campus and where a bunch of tv be set up and people can watch whatever they want with headphone for the volume . luckily and no one else enter the room if so and i would probably have be report for watch pornography and or snuff film work and or both . i be almost surprise this even come in the mail via netflix ( though not that it do not and apparently and get theatrical distribution here in the state ) . of the only handful of takashi miike film i have see and this do definitely take the cake . if it maybe not his absolute best maybe it part of the appeal while miike be experiment with the viewer expectation and even his fd up japanese fan type one . it take the idea of do a tragic comedy on a dysfunctional family and turn it on it head and and put it across the line of what should usually be acceptable with absurdism and and either have the viewer be please ( in a manner of speak ) or utterly disgust and or both and that they go over the line . and what a family indeed . it start off a be something and in it own way and almost quirky in the view of a family on the brink . there infidelity at first the father ( kenichi endo ) and unintentionally video tape himself have sex with a certain girl . this be quite the graphic and uncomfortable sex scene and albeit with the most ensitive part be blur and and this cut right away to something completely different ( if the monty python sound ring from read that and it not without some coincidence throughout the picture ) and a the father get hit on the head by some guy with a rock . this guy and knick name q ( kazuchi watanabe ) and come to stay at the family house and where the mother ( shungiki uchida ) get whip with a cane by her son and who on his way to and from school always without fail get beat and rob by bully . she also into heroin and but then later when something happen particular like with q and another unnerving revelation be reveal and one without really any explanation for be there . but i realize after a while miike set it up from the begin with q suddenly enter into this world and and somehow for no actual reason be accept . in fact and if youre look for reason and you might want to look elsewhere and seriously . it a look at the disintegration of a family use a medium within it video work ( i be remind of godard equally un settle work of original sexually deprave and uncouth family in numeroux deux ) and and if take really a be a serious work you might have to turn it off after a while . this be not something that i could easily do and however and a i have to watch what would happen much like in something in a lynch or bunuel film . it actually not without some merit to compare him with those other filmmaker and a his work push the absurdism or surrealism to the brink and where there no choice leave but to laugh at what go on . take when the father decide to suddenly jump into his reality tv time by tap when the bully shoot firework at their house . or when thing start get particularly disturb ( necrophilia and yeah ) and the juxtaposition of father to mother in these scene be extraordinary in deranged comic timing . after it end and with the final shot leave a look on my face like a dog in front of a different piece of food in the bowl and i know that visitor q be a work that go beyond take an ultra serious look at the world of these psychotic criminal or at the least social introvert and with sexual intention that go over the edge it work a lot good than it might have at do just a straightforward mockumentary of reality tv . i be not sure what the situation of the degrade medium be like in japan and but by stick to mock this family and theyre near silent visitor and and put it all through a blender of crime and misdemeanor that would make some faint on the spot and miike achieve his goal more or less and whatever they might be . it get some scene that do not work early on and or maybe it just so strange to really get into the mood of it at first . once hook in and i have a much fun and in the most perverse voyeuristic way and a i do with ichi the killer . it confront the viewer and and should be deliciously shock and unrepentantly hilarious for year to come . that it not for everyone will be know right from the first scene .
