Queer Cinema: Lost & Found

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“Presciently offers an accomplished representation of queer love and genderfluid identity nailing both ends of the trans experience: the reassuring euphoria when gender identity and presentation align and the thorny, insidious envy of cisgender people.”
—BFMAF

FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES meets BONNIE AND CLYDE when a nihilistic drifter crosses paths with an enigmatic, gender-fluid shoplifter. “Pure snot-nosed anti-establishment indie heaven” (The Village Voice), this freewheeling journey through 1970s Japan anticipates “the transgressive New Queer Cinema movies of Gregg Araki and Gus Van Sant” (Metrograph).

Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
