Funeral Parade of Roses
In Funeral Parade of Roses, avant-garde art and grind-house shocks mix together in a delirious mix. The film takes us on an electrifying journey into the darkest corners of late-'60s Tokyo. No one seems to be off limits in Toshio Matsumoto's controversial first movie, which is filled with graphic design, painting and comic book visual flourishes, as well as scenes of sex, drug use, and public toilets. But of all the "transgressions" that are on display, perhaps one of them stands out the most: the film's groundbreaking and unapologetic depiction of Japanese gay culture in a way that was never done before.
