Parade

About This Movie

So, Parade (2017) is this intriguing documentary that dives deep into the world of parades, but not in the flashy, commercial sense you might expect. The tone is rather contemplative, almost meditative at times. The pacing is slow and deliberate, allowing you to really absorb the sights and sounds of the events. What’s striking here are the everyday people featured—performers and spectators alike—captured in candid moments that feel both intimate and universal. The cinematography has this raw, almost tactile quality, making the viewer feel part of the procession. You can sense a strong thematic thread of community and celebration running through it, which gives the film an organic texture. It’s distinctive for how it strips away the usual spectacle and invites you to appreciate the subtleties of human connection.
