A late-sixties echo of Oedipus Rex, the anarchic Funeral Parade of Roses stars Peter as Eddie, a transgender woman at the heart of Tokyo’s gay culture. This formally ambitious film merges documentary, cultural critique and horror tropes, perhaps because it was created during the period in which the boundaries of gender, genre and film were newly permeable and porous. This riotous celebration of individual and collective self-determination becomes a slippery and spectacular riposte to stability in all its guises.
