Since his 1991 debut “No Skin Off My Ass,” Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce has made himself a fixture of New Queer Cinema and the most transgressive strains of avant-garde film. Now his most recent film “The Visitor” finally hits theaters around the US, starting with an exclusive run at the Roxy Cinema in NYC from March 7-9.

A remake of Pier Paolo Pasolini‘s 1968 classic “Teorema,” “The Visitor” takes place in present-day London, where a refugee washes upon the bank of the Thames and gradually insinuates himself into an upper-class family’s home, satiating sexual desires they never knew they had.
Here’s an official synopsis for “The Visitor,” courtesy of A/POLITICAL:
London, today. A refugee washes up naked in a suitcase on the bank of the Thames. The enigmatic, sexually fluid stranger introduces himself to a bourgeois, upper-class family. He is invited to stay on as an employee. The Visitor soon seduces each member of the family in a series of explicit sexual encounters. He will turn their world upside down as they are able to redefine themselves in new, radical ways.
“The Visitor” stars Bishop Black, Macklin Kowal, Amy Kingsmill, Ray Filar, Kurtis Lincoln, and Luca Federici.
Along with directing, LaBruce writes “The Visitor with co-writers Alex Babboni and Victor Fraga. Babboni and Fraga also serve as producers on the film, with A/POLITICAL on board as an executive producer.
“The Visitor” had its world premiere at the 2024 Berlin Film Festival last year, where it received rave reviews from critics. After its run at the Roxy Cinema in NYC, the film also screens at the Landmark NuArt Theatre in LA on March 14, with LaBruce in person for Q&As on March 14 and 15.
