Bruce LaBruce returns with The Raspberry Reich,
a satirical, porn-laden film that skewers leftist extremism. It begins
with Gudrun and her ragtag gang of husky would-be-terrorists as they attempt
to kidnap a wealthy business man’s son, who they intend to liberate
from his heterosexuality while they wait for his ransom to arrive. Gudrun
sees heterosexuality as a tool of the ruling establishment and regularly
coaches her sexy revolutionaries
in the ways of gay sex.
in the ways of gay sex.
Inspired by the Baader-Meinhof
Gang of Germany in the seventies, The Raspberry
Reich is a film that mocks the obsession
with “radical chic.” From the very beginning the gang exposes
its incompetence with a hilarious scene where one of the aspiring terrorists
accidentally hand-cuffs himself to the kidnapping victim and is forced
to join him in the trunk of their stolen BMW.
As their plans go awry, the
“terrorists” become a slapstick parody of themselves exposing
the hypocrisy and irony of their desperate need to “liberate”
others into believing as they do.
Filled
with biting observations, DYI filmmaking, and a healthy dose of hardcore
sex, The Raspberry Reich is
a wholly
original and entertaining film.
