A Purple selection of cult underground classics, film #1: “FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES – Official Trailer”
A hallucinatory descent into 1960s Tokyo’s queer underground, Toshio Matsumoto’s Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) remains one of the most subversive and visionary films of Japanese New Wave cinema.
Starring the iconic Peter as Eddie — a radiant, tragic figure navigating love, identity, and rebellion — the film collides documentary, surrealism, and myth, freely reimagining Oedipus Rex in a world of drag bars, desire, and collapse.
