Visitor Q is a very, very strange movie.
We open with a hooker and her John. The John turns out to be her dad.
At home, the son beats the mother with a variety of implements that he has stored very neatly. However, the boy himself is bullied by his schoolmates.
The mother is a heroin addict (probably to kill the pain of the beatings) and works as a dominatrix to support her habit.
The father is a failed TV reporter who works with a female partner. They are having an affair, but she's tired of him (because of his PE problem, he thinks).
One day, the father brings home a stranger. He is only introduced as "My acquaintance." In a very odd way, without saying much, and without judging them in any way, he begins to heal the family.
The father brings him along as a camera man on one job. His partner says she's finished, that he's just too pathetic. He is enraged, thinking that her rejection is because of his PE problem.
The stranger helps him move the body, and in a very bizarre scene, he commits necrophilia, in the process overcoming his PE. He's very excited about this, but his fun is cut short when the corpse begins to do things that corpses do.
The stranger confronts the wife. She's in her usual state, petrified and hurting. He hugs her from behind and begins to massage her. Things escalate and he begins squeezing her breasts, making her lactate. This delights her.
Meanwhile, the father has a problem. Rigor mortis has set in on the body, and he's stuck. They bring the body inside, and in the tub, the mother pours vinegar on them (supposed to soften the body).
He is eventually freed and in a spasm of joy, kills the boys that are bullying his son.
What does it all mean? Damned if I know. There's obviously commentary on the nature of reality TV, of bullying, of sexual abuse, and other stuff. What stood out to me was how the stranger changed their lives without really saying anything about it. He simply acts when he needs to, and usually in a compassionate way.
The movie is harsh and shocking but also oddly funny, and in a bizarre way, kind of sweet. The family is seriously messed up, but they're closer at the end.
Weird stuff but worth a watch if you can handle the extreme stuff.
