The Raspberry Reich
The revolution is my boyfriend
Directed by Bruce LaBruce
Produced by Jürgen Brüning Filmproduktion
A provocative, sexually explicit satire that weaponizes absurdist comedy and unsimulated eroticism to interrogate revolutionary ideology, sexual politics, and the contradictions of radical leftism.
Gudrun has modeled her amateur German terrorist group after the 1970s Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhof Gang). She attempts to imitate her heroes by kidnapping the son of a wealthy industrialist and hopes to negotiate leftist demands from the father. When Gudrun’s not spouting leftist verses (including during a hilariously brilliant fuck session), she’s trying to convince her all-male gang to abandon their heterosexuality, which she believes is the result of mass delusion.
