Funeral Parade Presents 'The Crying Game'
112mins (18) Crime / Thriller
Directed by Neil Jordan Starring Stephen Rea, Miranda Richardson, Jaye Davidson

Funeral Parade is proud to present The Crying Game, Neil Jordan’s erotic thriller about national, sexual, and gender identity.

An unlikely friendship develops between a kidnapped British soldier and his captor, an IRA volunteer named Fergus. When the hostage-taking ends up going horribly wrong, Fergus escapes and heads to London, where he seeks out and begins dating the soldier's lover, a hairdresser named Dil, who knows nothing about Fergus' IRA background. But there are some things about Dil that Fergus doesn't know either. The Crying Game is landmark moment on in on-screen transgender representation, as well as pulse-quickening thriller and a poignant love story – a film that’s ripe for rediscovery, and so much more than just a shocking twist.

This screening will feature an introduction from season curator Sarah Cleary and Jaye Hudson of TGirlsOnFilm.

Multiple Maniacs
1970 97mins USA (18) Film
Directed by John Waters Starring Divine, Edith Massey, David Lochary, Mink Stole, Mary Vivian Pearce, Cookie Mueller

John Waters’ gloriously grotesque, unavailable-for-decades second feature comes to theaters at long last, replete with all manner of depravity, from robbery to murder to one of cinema’s most memorably blasphemous moments. Made on a shoestring budget in Baltimore, with Waters taking on nearly every technical task, this gleeful mockery of the peace-and-love ethos of its era features the Cavalcade of Perversion, a traveling show put on by a troupe of misfits whose shocking proclivities are topped only by those of their leader: the glammer-than-glam, larger-than-life Divine, who’s out for blood after discovering her lover’s affair. Starring Waters’ beloved regular cast the Dreamlanders (including David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey, and Cookie Mueller), Multiple Maniacs is an anarchist masterwork from an artist who has doggedly tested the limits of taste for decades.
