Funeral Parade of Roses in Amsterdam

薔薇の葬列

Director Toshio Matsumoto

Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s Tokyo, this daring reimagining of the Oedipus myth dives deep into the underground subculture of drag queens, bohemians, and outcasts. At the heart of a local club, a volatile love triangle ignites when the young Eddie enters into a passionate affair with the owner, Gonda, sparking a fierce rivalry with the bar's madam, Leda. Utilizing an experimental blend of documentary footage, pop-art aesthetics, and stroboscopic imagery, this landmark of the Japanese New Wave delivers a visually arresting exploration of identity, desire, and inevitable tragedy.
