Our weekly look at what’s weird in theaters, on hot-off-the-presses DVDs, and on more distant horizons…

Trailers of new release movies are generally available at the official site links.

IN THEATERS (LIMITED RELEASE):

Can Hitler Happen Here? (2017): A crazy alcoholic woman lives a paranoid existence in her run-down home. Not sure what’s going on with this one–if may still be playing downmarket and specialist film festivals–but the trailer gets intriguing towards the end. Can Hitler Happen Here? Facebook page.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969): Rare Japanese New Wave weirdness, controversial at the time for it’s sympathetic treatment of drag queens. Restored, and hopefully soon to be released on Region 1 DVD (exhibitor Cinelicious followed a similar trajectory with Belladonna of Sadness last year). Schedule available at the Funeral Parade of Roses official site.
