Movie Reviews of Visitor Q
Movie Review: THE WORST PIECE OF MIIKE GARBAGE
Summary: 1 Stars
Visitor Q is a pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-artsy, low budget movie that pushes the envelope of decency under the facade of creating scathing social commentary. Halfway into this movie you realize the message the movie is trying to portray is so incredibly slim and vapid, and that it is used solely as a pretext to shock and awe.
Do not be fooled. Do not believe the hype. This has much less to do with creating valuable social commentary than it has to do with inflating Miike's already uber-inflated ego. Between the lines, Visitor Q is about the pretentiousness of Miike, a man who has achieved a god-like reputation and is proving that behind the camera lens, he can show you anything he wants to, and make you celebrate him for it.
Miike relishes in his marginal position as an outsider, an auteur who thinks outside the box and is not constrained by morality's impositions. It is a shame he enjoys this role because "Audition" and "Three Extremes: Box" certainly manifest undeniable talent. Instead, he chooses to remain on the sidelines as this auteur creating horror/yakusa garbage like Fudoh, Full Metal Yakuza and Visitor Q, rather than actually striving to create quality pieces of work, which he is fully capable of.
