New edition of Toshio Matsumoto's subversive, intoxicating masterpiece FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES (1969).
Trans actorPeter (aka Pita) gives an astonishing performance as Eddie, hostess at Bar Genet – where she’s ignited a violent love-triangle with reigning drag queen Leda for the attentions of club owner Gonda.
One of Japan’s leading experimental filmmakers,Toshio Matsumotobends and distorts time, and freely mixes documentary interviews, Brechtian film-within-a-film asides, Oedipal premonitions of disaster, his own avant-garde shorts, and even on-screen cartoon balloons.
Funeral Parade of Rosesis a celebration of youth and subcultures, a condemnation of intolerance, and a one-of-kind cinematic experience. A kaleidoscopic masterpiece, and one of the most subversive, intoxicating films of the 60s.
