Antenna Releasing and Pure Cinema Podcast present “Weird, Wild, and Wonderful Wednesdays” at Braindead Studios, a collaboration between the newest indie distributor on the block and the official podcast of Quentin Tarantino’s New Beverly Cinema – invading the coolest spot to see underground movies on the West Side. Next up: the West Coast Premiere of the restoration of Takashi Miike’s long sought after 2001 classic, Visitor Q.

Join Pure Cinema hosts Elric Kane and Brian Saur as they present this newly restored work from the acclaimed master behind classics like Audition and Ichi the Killer, among others.

A deeply dysfunctional family is pushed to the brink when a mysterious stranger enters their home, unleashing long-suppressed tensions and laying bare their most disturbing taboos. His silent presence sets off a series of shocking transformations, compelling each member to confront their darkest impulses.

Blending pitch-black humour with razor-sharp social commentary, Visitor Q fearlessly explores subjects such as incest, necrophilia, and bullying, laying bare the absurdity, cruelty, and unexpected resilience of modern family life. Shot in just five days on raw MiniDV, it stands as one of Takashi Miike’s most audacious and unforgettable films.
