Funeral Parade of Roses (薔薇の葬列 Bara no Sōretsu?) is a 1969 Japanese film directed by Toshio Matsumoto. It is a loose adaptation of Oedipus Rex set in the underground gay counterculture of 1960s Tokyo. The film was released by ATG (Art Theatre Guild) on September 13, 1969 in Japan; however, it did not receive a US release until October 29, 1970. For My Damaged Right Eye contains some of the same footage and could almost be seen as a trailer, although a true trailer was also made.
