Review of Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) by Aaron W — 08 Jul 2008
A brief scene played out like a Noh parody. An argument told in stills and word balloons. A catfight in a fast motion/music style that Kubrick later stole (by his own admission) for Clockwork Orange. A perfectly sincere love scene being interrupted by the camera crew.
And so forth. It's one surprise after another, and although the narrative is fragmented to pieces, it rarely feels "random". Everything fits together, and the results are fascinating. The ending is a true shocker as well.
