MELBOURNE PREMIERE

Arguably Canadian cinema’s most anarchic agent provocateur, The Misandrists director Bruce LaBruce has been blasting his punk art porn visions into the universe’s most chaotically-inclined cinemas (or grubby VHS players) since the ‘80s. Sometimes they don’t make it: L.A. Zombie was struck from the 2010 Melbourne International Film Festival by overzealous censors. Thankfully, his latest eye-popper snuck in the backdoor unassailed. A sacrilegious exhumation of the still-warm corpse of fellow queer button-pushing pioneer Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Teorema (1968), this new crotch twist shifts the engorged drama from Italy to contemporary London, where Bishop Black’s eponymous Visitor emerges naked from a suitcase as a refugee who soon invites themselves into a filthy rich, binary-fucking family’s mansion, seducing them to the cause one-by-horny-one. This NSFW fury was up for the Teddy Best Feature Award at this year's Berlinale.
