Funeral Parade of Roses Reviews
Audiences Everywhere
Nathanael Hood
At times it feels like we're watching the birth pains of a new strain of queer cinema, one both beautiful and tragic, unapologetic and glorious.
indieWire
Michael Nordine
Describing this transgressive take on Oedipus Rex purely in terms of plot would be as limiting as calling the King of Thebes slightly confused.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
You will walk away from Matsumoto's film with a newfound appreciation of what movies can be.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It should appeal to cinephiles and queers with an appetite for exotica and probably turn off most others.
Film Threat
Bradley Gibson
As a cinematic and cultural document this is fascinating material, definitely worth your time.
Under the Radar
Dustin Krcatovich
A classic of both queer cinema and experimental film, and it's a real boon to cinephiles everywhere that it's being made widely available again.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
The film is caught somewhere between freeform sketch comedy, gonzo documentary, and irony-soaked Warholian melodrama.
Boulder Weekly
Michael J. Casey
Kaleidoscopic, electric, and fun as hell.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
It imparts the thrill of witnessing the hedonism and lawlessness-both sexual and artistic-of a bygone culture. You also feel an almost tragic surge of melancholia watching it: where and when, you wonder, will cinema ever get quite this wild again?
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Robert Ham
A gender-fluid take on Oedipus Rex that takes cues from Jonas Mekas (who's name-checked in the film), Seijun Suzuki, and Andy Warhol, Funeral is a frenetic hodgepodge of styles and moods.
The Movie Sleuth
Michelle Kisner
At times the film can feel like a surreal dream and it can shift without warning back to reality.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
A cheeky and provocative experimental look at a largely unknown subculture.
Film Journal International
David Noh
At once over-the-top camp and an invaluable artifact of a vanished gay age.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
While the normalization and societal acceptance of trans people are becoming more mainstream, the technique and way in which Matsumoto created this buzzy, gritty, and subversive world have still gone unmatched in modern cinema.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Matsumoto mashes a barrage of audio-visual styles, tones and gimmicks into a brash kaleidoscope of filmic possibility.
Ladylike
Laurie Ann
If you can get beyond the time shifts and "artistic" parts, I think you'll enjoy this unique film.
Drag
Bebe Scarpie
In no way is this a funny picture, or a light one. Definitely not for everyone. But for those who do sit through... Funeral Parade of Roses is a very strong trip.
Psychocinematography
Pieter-Jan Van Haecke
Matsumoto makes great use of jump-cuts, fast montages, and intertitles.
