THE VISITOR

UK | 2024 | COLOR | DCP | 101’ | ENGLISH

The most unruly representative of queercore cinema strikes again, adapting Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Theorem" into a liberating porn manifesto. Out of a suitcase washed up of the river Thames emerges a naked black man, an anonymous refugee, who ends up in the mansion of a wealthy family and sexually defiles it, seducing every member, regardless of gender or sexual preference. Provocative, ironic and deliciously immoral, “The Visitor” is a literal and metaphorical orgy that lays sex and politics on the same sweaty bed. Strictly X-rated.
