Today, he's a notable writer, filmmaker, and artist (Letterboxd called him "The Godfather of Queer"). And as a young man trying to figure out his place as a person and as an artist, Bruce LaBruce was instantly fascinated by the films MAKING LOVE (1982) and LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR (1977). While the two films are very different in tone, execution, and commercial success, they both center around characters who are living lives that break away from oppressive cultural norms around sex and sexuality.  

THE VISITOR is now available on Blu-Ray from Vinegar Syndrome.
