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.
directed by: Bruce La Bruce

"You'll need to go into this with a very open mind and that's all I'm saying! Actually - it's a lovely slipcover too. Seriously though, look at a few reviews on the usual websites and check it's your sort of thing before you buy it!"
"Certainly not one to have on if you have family or visitors round. This is a really nice release with a stringing slip cover. If you’re a fan of gay cinema this is definitely worth checking out."
"LaBruce's TEOREMAxxx looks & sounds great on this release. I don't care for the brain-bashingly overt sexo-political sloganeering. The concept is great, with plenty of room for sleazed-out, boundary-disrupting sex, but it's ruined for me by something that I understand is his point. Either way, this is definitely up the alley of many! Maybe I just needed more of the foot-ginas on the cover art..."
"Great film from a queer punk legend. Sick packaging!"
"Wonderfully explicit version of Teorema"
"Well, jeez!"
"I dig this highly sexualized mind f*ck. Highly recommended."
"This release concerning an unconventional family whose live is turned upside down with the arrival of strange visitors to our planet is a drama only Bruce LaBruce can deliver. A perfect pairing with L. A. Zombie if ever there was one."
"Sitting happily next to Miike's Visitor Q in my library, another riff on Teorema, The Visitor explores familiar ground for LaBruce. Witty, explicit, arch, and political. If John Waters is 'the pope of trash' then LaBruce is certainly the uncle of the dirt bag left. Certainly LaBruce is slightly more interested in the erotic than the shocking, and seeing the political knitted into the body and it's capacity for pleasure, wherever that body is from, is a refreshing approach to the sad reinforcing of national boundaries. Marks off for no subtitles though."
"great to have this on disc now!"
