Join Miles Flanagan, Jared Carlson and Sean Sardi as they explore the creative explosion that is the transgressive classic FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES (1969). Learn how this one film essentially changed the face of Japanese cinema in the late 1960s. See how it became one of the most inspirational films of the decade (and beyond). And discover how star PETER (Shinnosuke Ikehata) channeled their unorthodox upbringing into this startling cinema debut. Loosely based on the classical Greek play “Oedipus Rex” the film still outshines pretty much every film released since. It's a beacon to cinematic originality - so much so that much of its visual flair was liberally ‘borrowed’ by Stanley Kubrick for his 1972 production of “A Clockwork Orange.” You want to find out more?
