"Parade" is a dark coming-of-age film adapted from Yoshida Shuichi's novel, a winner of the Yamamoto Shugoro Prize. Praised for his portrayal of the restless and apathetic youth, director Yukisada Isao brilliantly conveys how repeated incidents of violent assault cast a shadow on the superficial relationship between a group of five young men and women who live in an apartment together. But their seemingly peaceful life is threatened by a male prostitute who comes into their lives.
