I’d somehow forgotten how bloody this part of the film is

Beyond the subjects of gender and sexuality, the sound design and cinematography in “Funeral Parade of Roses” is endlessly fascinating.There’s barely a single scene that follows conventional filmmaking/film aesthetics

Not nearly as much eye trauma in “Performance” compared to “Funeral Parade of Roses” but I guess they can’t all be winners

Forgot to post this during the last show, but designed some new Funeral Parade of Roses punk patch art!

Glad to see some non-English programming on TCM Underground again. Nor to say that Alicia Malone doesn't manage to slip some really subversive / nanners fun stuff into the #TCMImports line-up now and then ... which reminds me, "The Lure" (2015) would be perfect for Underground. Sexy horror vampire mermaids working in a burlesque show in Perestroika-era Communist Poland; AND IT'S A MUSICAL!!!!

Loitering on sidewalks in silly clothing, smoking and making vague allusions to Che Guevara kind of summed up my late teens ...

@analgesicsleep Just the parts I don't like! It's like having your West Side Story Cake, and eating it too!

Just choked on my generic Mountain Dew laughing at that little "Applause Requested" segue!

It’s like “West Side Story”..but without the brownface, or heterosexuality or choreographed dancing…or…

@SchlocklusterVideo I was 14 (but pretending to be older😶) and watched this on a very worn VHS with some friends that were in college on one of those tv’s with the big bubble backs. I remember being absolutely enthralled by it. Eventually someone let me make a copy of the VHS. I think I still have it somewhere

My first time watching FPoR I tried to just get lost in the general mood and aesthetic, instead of trying to pick apart the various avant garde layers and pausing to check my Penguin Publishing collection of Ancient Greek literatature. I knew immediately I was gonna watch it again anyway, so save the bulletin board and red yarn for later. Tend to do the same with David Lynch films, but with FPoR, I didn’t feel like I needed a shower afterwards …
