Product Description

A film about modern left Germans adopting the culture of extreme left-wing movements of the 1970s. The female leader of the Raspberry Reich, Gudrun, forces her straight male followers to have sex with each other to prove their mettle as authentic revolutionaries. From the outrageous and provocative director Bruce LaBruce (HUSTLER WHITE, SUPER 8 ½), the film premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

5.0 out of 5 stars Let's talk about Political Porn, September 27, 2005

By	The Pony (Chile) - See all my reviews

i saw this film in Greece, and i'm sure that the American version is probably a little softer than the Europeon (original cut). But i'm not too sure. This film is fantastic! i cant stress that enough. the cinematagraphy... and just the overall satirical and witty premise of the film is worth watching. I think im going to make a t-shirt that says: "Masturbation is Counter-Revolutionary!" This movie is so smart...

5.0 out of 5 stars out of the bedrooms and onto the streets, March 22, 2005

By	David Henderson (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This film is brilliant. If you know anything of how ridiculous revolutionary left political groups tend to be and are interested in how (gayish) sex can help to show up the madness - this is the film for you. The acting is woeful, but that's not the point, in fact i think it's almost deliberately bad. the storyline is loosely based on the real events of the Red Army Faction in 1970s Germany except that it's all viewed through a comic gay prism. "Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses" and "put your marxism where your mouth is" consist some of the clever gay-ified revolutionary slogans littered throughout the film.

Bruce La Bruce has showed his true genius here. whilst pushing an interesting political point about the left he maintains the tongue firmly in the cheek.
