If you loved Mona Lisa, try Funeral Parade of Roses

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Toshio Matsumoto. If that's the register that drew you to Mona Lisa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Funeral Parade of Roses is

Persona without the pretense. In Tokyo's kinetic late 1960s underworld, a bar owner and his queen bee find their affair threatened by a younger hustler. The ensuing love triangle unleashes suppressed trauma. A landmark of the Japanese New Wave.
