Funeral Parade of Roses
It's an exhilarating trip into the dark underbelly of Tokyo in the mid-to-late 1960s with Funeral Parade of Roses, an avant-garde/grind-house fusion. Everything in Toshio Matsumoto's provocative debut movie, from the combination of current graphic-design, painting, comic books, and animation; to the unflinching depiction of nudity, sex, drug use, and public restrooms; seems to be acceptable in Matsumoto. In spite of all of the film's "transgressions," perhaps the film's revolutionary and unashamed depiction of Japanese LGBT subculture sticks out the most.
