DIR. BRUCE LA BRUCE'S
THE VISITOR
w/ Q+A hosted by Brontez Purnell
☮︎☮︎☮︎
A charming, vulgar reimagining of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Teorema:
A refugee emerges from a suitcase on the bank of the Thames—one of several identical men appearing across the city. Disguised as a homeless man, he infiltrates an upper-class household by befriending the maid, who claims he is her nephew. The family then hires him as a live-in servant. As in Teorema, the Visitor engages intimately with each family member - the encounters portrayed through explicit scenes. These interactions spark profound sexual and spiritual transformations within the household.
"This is Pasolini via early John Waters, including a lengthy scene of joyous coprophagia in which chocolate brownies stand in for the real thing...Shit-eating aside, the sex acts are unsimulated, with a Christ-shaped dildo memorably venturing where angels fear to tread, and plenty of bondage and threesomes and so on." - Variety
"Perverted sex is crucial to the film’s unsavory impact and not just for shock value either. It might seem that way on the surface, but to anyone familiar with La Bruce’s ongoing mission statement, it’s clear that porn is a weapon of subversion that he wields as precisely as the body liquids on display are sloppy." - Indiewire
