takashi miike have get to be one of my favorite film maker these day and i be out search for his stuff leave and right . visitor q be probably the weird of his weird movie that i have see yet and maybe more so because it miss any of the supernatural element present in most of his other film . i guess the close thing that i could compare this to be happiness by todd solondz and but part of this drag that through the mud and make it seem somewhat wholesome in comparison . almost . this take dysfunctional family behavior out to the n th degree and and yet i do not find it that hard to watch . we have incest and parental abuse and heroin addiction and prostitution ( run in the family ) and just good old fashion insanity . miike apparently have some thing for mother milk and too and if you have see gozu then you know what i mean . dad be a failed tv reporter and whose downfall have something to do with a televise interview with some young punk that insert a microphone where he do not want it . mom be a mess and the young son beat her and she turn trick to support her drug addiction . the young son be bully and take thing on on mom and apparently . and the old daughter and who be no longer living at home and well and you will see . along come a mysterious visitor who become a house guest after hit dad on the head with a rock ( twice ) . his purpose be somewhat unclear but he somehow bring the family closer together and not that any of what theyre do be particularly ozzie and harriet but theyre still do thing a a family again . heartwarming . yeah and right . anyway this be a disturbing watch and i enjoy every minute of it . highly recommended and if you enjoy the current wave of strange japanese film .
