A deeply dysfunctional family is pushed to the brink when a mysterious stranger enters their home, unleashing long-suppressed tensions and laying bare their most disturbing taboos. His silent presence sets off a series of shocking transformations, compelling each member to confront their darkest impulses. Blending pitch-black humour with razor-sharp social commentary, Visitor Q fearlessly explores subjects such as incest, necrophilia, and bullying, laying bare the absurdity, cruelty, and unexpected resilience of modern family life. Shot in just five days on raw MiniDV, it stands as one of Takashi Miike’s most audacious and unforgettable films.
