The Thrill of a Queer Movie That Doesn’t Appeal to Anyone
Inside Bruce LaBruce’s ludicrously graphic new movie The Visitor, and the sex party that followed its premiere.
The words JOIN THE NEW WORLD SEXUAL ORDER flash across a screen, which is itself flanked by two long red banners depicting Jesus on the cross — his arms splayed out, his head hung, and his torso disappearing into the image of a veiny and thick penis. It’s arguably more vulgar than LaBruce’s Raspberry Reich, his “terrorist-chic” film from 2004 that features a left-wing gang in Berlin attempting to literally fuck their way toward revolution, pausing between sucking each other off to be lectured by their queer female leader about the necessity of carnal desire in overthrowing capitalism. Juju, a 48-year-old man in attendance wearing a kilt, a distinctively Scottish hat, and a leather harness, says he’s never seen a LaBruce film but that he’s been to six sex parties in the last year, and generally enjoys the feeling of safety he gets from being around queer people in this setting.
