Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) gave Stanley Kubrick several visual and aural inspirations for his adaptation of A Clockwork Orange (1971).
One short but prominent scene in the film takes place in an alley, with the characters standing in front of five Japanese posters for Pier Paolo Pasolini's Oedipus Rex (1967). Given the plot of the film, this eventually comes to constitute a significant allusion.
The title of this film is a pun. "Rose"/"Bara" in Japanese is similar to the use of the word "pansy" in English slang.
This film is in the Official Top 250 Narrative Feature Films on Letterboxd.
The title is a pun, as "rose" (bara) in Japanese can have a similar meaning to "pansy" or "gay boy" in English slang.
