Funeral Parade of Roses

Funeral Parade of Roses is a 1969 Japanese drama film directed and written by Toshio Matsumoto, loosely adapted from Oedipus Rex and set in the underground gay counterculture of 1960s Tokyo. An important work of the Japanese New Wave, the film combines elements of arthouse, documentary and experimental cinema. Funeral Parade of Roses was a major influence on Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.
