Bar Genet's new star hostess is the transgender icon Eddie, whose confidence and sexuality threaten the bar's long-time madame Leda, but attract Gonda, the bar's owner. While Eddie becomes entangled in this love triangle, she spends her time with joint-smoking drop-outs, watches experimental films, dances to distorted rock music and occasionally gets involved in protests.
Funeral Parade of Roses is an assault on your senses. The strong black and white glow works perfectly with characters all dressed in 60's Tokyo fashion. It has a huge place in Japanese film history and has influenced a ton of film makers, Stanley Kubrick among others, who gained the inspiration to make A Clockwork Orange (1971) after watching it. Pretty cool.
