Visitor Q Review
Unlike other similarly themed films -- such as Sogo_Ishii's Crazy_Family or François_Ozon's Sitcom -- Visitor Q is not a mere cynical parody or a parade of empty shocks. In spite of the film's wild exaggerations, one senses that Takashi_Miike legitimately cares for his characters. By the film's final reel, after one of the funniest necrophilia scenes in film history, Miike reveals an almost jarringly traditional view of family, ending with each character fulfilling their ascribed societal roles. Though acting is across-the-board good, Shungiku_Uchida -- known in Japan more as a comic book artist than an actress -- delivers a performance that is absolutely fearless. In short, Visitor Q is an outrageously weird ride that starts out shocking and ends on a note that seems almost wholesome. Jonathan Crow, Rovi
