Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to continue Mike White March with a look at Toshio Matsumoto's Funeral Parade of Roses. The film follows Eddie, a Japanese transvestite, who unknowingly becomes a participant in his own Oedipus Rex adaptation. It's another fantastic entry into the Japanese New Wave movement and a film that transcends explanation and genre.
