9. Funeral parade of roses (1969)


Country: Japan
Directed by Tochio Matsumoto

I can't say that I really love this movie, as is very theatrical and pretentious for my taste. Even so, I recommend to everyone to watch it as is has a lot of memorable moments and is an important part of the Japanese filmography of the era . It's experimental, weird and provocative , displaying the underground drug based pop art-ish night scene of Tokyo back then, having as absolute protagonists drag queens and cross-dressers .Pita (the leading androgynous heroine), as Eddie , shines in the screen with a way that is impossible to imagine this movie with some one else in her role
