Funeral Parade of Roses (1969)
Login to save your watch progress
Overview
A collision of avant-garde aesthetics Funeral Parade of Roses, and grindhouse shocks takes us about an electrifying journey into the nether regions of the late-'60s Tokyo underworld. In the controversial debut feature of Toshio Matsumoto , apparently nothing is taboo: neither the incorporation of visual allure directly from the worlds of painting, contemporary graphic design, comic-books, and animation. Nor the depiction of nudity, sex, drug use, and public-toilets. But of the"transgressions" here on display, perhaps one particularly sticks out the most: that the picture's revolutionary and unapologetic portrayal of Japanese gay subculture.
