Funeral Parade of Roses
<b>This screening is part of <a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/lavender-lens">Lavender Lens</a>, our queer film strand created in collaboration with the Lavender Menace Queer Books Archive and Programmed with Pride.</b> Selected by the Lavender Lens Queer Community Programming Group to celebrate Trans History Week (4-10 May), <i>Funeral Parade of Roses</i> is a queer re-telling of the Oedipus myth, centred around the adventures of a transgender bar hostess. Allegedly an inspiration for Kubrick’s visual style in <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>, Matsumoto’s film is an assault of experimental and narrative techniques which defies formal conventions and emerges as an utterly unique vision. <i>Funeral Parade of Roses</i> can be comfortably placed into a number of film categories – cult, gay, psychedelic, punk, political or experimental. It qualifies as a classic in all of them.DramaPT1H45M152026-05-12Shinnosuke Ikehata
