Funeral Parade of Roses on DVD

A feverish collection of avant-garde aesthetics and grindhouse shocks (not to mention a direct influence on Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange). Funeral Parade of Roses takes us on an electrifying journey into the nether-regions of the late 60's Tokyo underworld.

With its mixture of purely narrative sequences and documentary footage, Funeral Parade of Roses comes to us from a moment when cinema set itself to test - and even eradicate - the boundaries between fiction and reality, desire and experience. Directed by Toshio Matsumoto
