FREE FOR ART THEATRE MEMEBRS. Director Toshio Matsumoto’s shattering, kaleidoscopic masterpiece is one of the most subversive and intoxicating films of the late 1960s: a headlong dive into a dazzling Tokyo night-world of drag bars and fabulous divas, fueled by booze, drugs, fuzz guitars, performance art, and black mascara.

Stanley Kubrick cited the film as a direct influence on A Clockwork Orange.

An unknown club dancer at the time, transgender actor Peter gives an astonishing performance as Eddie, hostess at Bar Genet, where she ignites a violent love triangle with reigning drag queen Leda for the attentions of club owner Gonda.

One of Japan’s leading experimental filmmakers, Matsumoto bends and distorts time, mixing documentary interviews, film-within-a-film asides, avant-garde shorts, and on-screen cartoon balloons into a dizzying whirl of image and sound.

A key work of the Japanese New Wave and queer cinema, the film has been restored in 4K from the original 35mm camera negative and sound elements. Presented by A Century of Cinema, an ongoing retrospective on the history of film.

This month we spotlight Funeral Parade of Roses, the groundbreaking 1969 masterpiece from visionary Japanese filmmaker Toshio Matsumoto.

Before the screening, our film programmer will discuss the film’s lasting influence on underground cinema, queer representation, and generations of filmmakers around the world. Supported, in part, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Department of Arts and Culture as well as the Arts council of Long Beach, the City of Long Beach, Port of Long Beach and the California Arts Council, a state agency.

In a dystopia overrun by robots, Neo (Keanu Reeves), mankind's greatest hope, is trapped in a limbo world.

Meanwhile, the majority of the planet's population remains in a state of suspended virtual reality.

The few humans who are cognizant of the grim realities of the world desperately try to hold off their mechanical enemies long enough for Neo to escape and save the day, but things turn disastrous when all-powerful computer program Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) arrives in the flesh. To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, Mr.

Anderson, aka Neo, will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more.

If he's learned anything, it's that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of -- or into -- the Matrix.

Neo already knows what he has to do, but what he doesn't yet know is that the Matrix is stronger, more secure and far more dangerous than ever before.
