Funeral Parade of Roses
Funeral Parade of Roses is one of the most hauntingly bizarre films I've ever come across. I have not been able to finish watching it as yet. It was released in 1969 and is a loose take on Oedipus Rex, set in the underground counterculture of late 60's Tokyo. I was told that it was a major influence on A Clockwork Orange, but I assure you, compared to this film, A Clockwork Orange appears as disturbing as an episode of Scooby-Doo.
