What The Parades is
A ghost story without scares where a mother hunts for her missing son in a purgatory of lingering souls. She’s the only one who doesn’t know she’s dead. The film rides on a quiet performance that makes denial feel like devotion, a 2020s Japanese drama shaped by loss you can’t name but recognize instantly.
