Movie Info

Canadian sexploitation filmmaker Bruce LaBruce goes to Germany to write and direct the satire Raspberry Reich, inspired by real-life '70s radical group the Baader-Meinhof gang. East German dominatrix Gudrun (Susanne Sachsse) leads a revolutionary gang of her own in Berlin. She has her men kidnap the son of a rich businessman in order to gain publicity. Claiming that heterosexuality is a social norm created to keep the people down, she forces her male minions to have sex with each other.

A highly awkward blending of gay porn and political satire.

The humorless Reich makes for one dull and repetitive skin flick.

A moderately entertaining movie that nevertheless says nothing revolutionary about the way we live now.

La Bruce is first and foremost a dedicated destroyer of cinema, and his chaotic movies are his weapons. If you can handle that, Reich feels just right.

Very silly, a bit tedious and if you cut out all the sex and sloganeering, the whole thing would run about 15 minutes.

Crazy and firmly tongue in cheek, LaBruce has done it again with Raspberry Reich. A self-proclaimed sexual revolutionary and devoted provocateur, he is also a damned good filmmaker.

Audience Reviews for Raspberry Reich

No, "The Raspberry Reich" is not the long awaited for sequel to "The Strawberry Statement."
