Visitor Q (2006)

Director: Takashi Miike
Stars: Kenichi Endo, Shungicu Uchida

Review:

When I watch this movie I keep asking "What is this?", "What is this supposed to be?". 

We started with a long sequence of a man having a night with a prositute, who we presumed was his daughter, since we were told by the cue cards. Then we follows his family can witness everyone of the family was being bullied by others: the mother was physically abused by his son, the son is bullied by his classmates, and the father was not successful at work in making documentaries, and in one occasion was shoved a dildo up his ass by some gangsters he was trying to film.

A stranger hit the father in his head with a stone, and the father brings the stranger home. The father came up with an idea of making a documentary out of the real-life bullying of his family, and asked his female co-worker to come along to film his son being bullied. His co-worker dismissed the idea and made him so mad as to strangle her to death while sexually abusing her.

Actually things up to this point was pretty boring, filled with un-appealing sex scenes and people talking meaningless dialogues. Now things gets funny. The stranger squeeze milk out of the mother's breast and the mother got addicted to it, and have to squeeze it until it floods the floor. The father brought the corpse of his co-worker home to fuck. During intercourse he found out that the girl was wet, and shouted, "She got wet! She got wet even though she is dead! It's a mystery! Oh it's shit! It's not a mystery it is shit! It fucking stinks!" The father couldnt get his cock out and the mother helped him by putting them into the bath tub and cover them with vinegar. And later they killed their son's classmates and the family lives happily thereafter.

Clearly this is a movie that deflies all logic so I would not bother with the simple question that why didnt they go to the police about the bullying, or why do the father bring the stranger home, or why the stranger hit his father's head in the first place. But actually most of the time this is boring, so boring that I have to resort on doing other things like checking emails or something. I was not disturbed a whole lot though though the milk scene is pretty gross but I want to laugh rather than gag. And when the credits roll, I still have no idea what the hell is happening.
