Agridulce comedia sobre la vida de Chu, un viejo chef de Taipei, viudo y con tres hijas (Jen, Chien y Ning) muy distintas pero con algo en común: la rebeldía. Un buen día, sus vidas empiezan a complicarse: una gruñona viuda se muda al apartamento de al lado, alguien se queda embarazada, alguien cae en una profunda depresión, alguien muere y alguien encuentra el amor verdadero. El afamado director Ang Lee volvió a Taiwán para contar otra historia de sentimientos y emociones

Without giving too much away, Funeral Parade of Roses is partly a loose modern queer rewrite of the Oedipus myth, although how and why it is doesn’t fully become clear until the end—when we witness the supremely paradoxical use of a subjective shot depicting the point of view, as it were, of an Oedipus figure who has just gouged out both his eyes. For the most part, however, Funeral Parade comes across as a free-form evocation of an unofficial coalition between two outsider communities in Tokyo: on one side, cross-dressers and other young gay men (the Japanese term being geiboi), and on the other, avant-garde artists.
It’s their bitter rivalry, both professional and romantic, that forms the backbone of the loose, non-linear plot. Leda (Osamu Ogasawara), the reigning madame of Bar Genet, begins to suspect Gonda (Yoshio Tsuchiya), her boyfriend and the bar’s owner, of sleeping with glamorous up-and-coming hostess Eddie (played by Peter, a famous trans entertainer in Japan who later appeared in Akira Kurosawa’s Ran) behind her back. Her suspicions are well founded, as Gonda is not only cheating but also planning to ditch her entirely and cement Eddie both as his new permanent squeeze and as a younger, hipper queen bee of Bar Genet.
