As many of you may have noted in the post below, I was rendered speechless by my viewing of Visitor Q and whether I like it or not, the movie has stuck in my head. As I have also mentioned before, I have had a difficult time explaining the obvious dissimilarities between my rating and that found on IMDb.

It is by sheer coincidence that as I was looking for a picture to post for that particular film, I ran into a very interesting post at IrishFilmJournal.com which has a lengthy analysis of the film and which helped me understand the merits of a movie that I had found too shocking to truly value. After having read it I suppose I have come to a greater understanding of what Miike has done, though by nature of its content I can not say that I like the movie any more than previously stated. I will therefore leave my rating at 2 out of 5 for Visitor Q, though I highly recommend to anybody that dares watch this film, that they keep this article in mind because, if nothing else, it manages to provide a solid argument for the idea that this film is not disturbing for the sake of being disturbing and should not be readily dismissed as such.

In any case I end this particular post with the link to said blog and hope that may clarify matters for those viewers that opt to take a peep at this controversial film. If you do happen to watch it, please do send me a word to let me know, I am interested to discuss this a bit further.
