Brilliant, Provocative, Sexy!,
By
This review is from: The Raspberry Reich (DVD)
This movie, although obviously made with a micro-budget, manages to be witty, provocative, sexy, and stylish. Referencing Fassbinder's The Third Generation, Godard's La Chinoise, and Makavejev's WR: Mysteries of the Organism, The Raspberry Reich has antecedents to spare but a style all its own. Essential!

good idea, poor realization,
By Hannes Scroggin (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Raspberry Reich (DVD)
despite the fact that this movie has one of my favourtie porn stars (Woofie Tim Vincent, from Cazzo Films Berlin), this film put me to sleep.The shots of East Germany were intersting, the acting semi good but the storyline I'm afraid was really weak. The only really good part was the extra section where Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce talks about the film step by step. Otherwise, the equivalent of a sleeping tablet.

"Join the Homosexual Intifada!",
By OddJay - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Raspberry Reich (DVD)
Hilarious tongue-in-cheek political satire, glamorizing "terrorist chic", and sexing it up to the extreme. You really need an open mind to enjoy this film. Some people focus on the questionable acting, but I believe it was all intentional. The blending of hardcore sex and politics is brilliant. Only Bruce Labruce could pull it off. It's hilarious and titillating, and yes, the plot is ridiculous, but it's meant to be. That's kind of the point. The ridiculousness only emphasizes the underlying message of the film. Make love, not war. Filled with the best catch lines ever, they stick in your mind long after the film ends. "The revolution is my boyfriend" is one of my favorites. I actually found it on a t-shirt online, so, of course, I had to buy it. Some other favorites are: "Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses", "Kiss the captive!", "Madonna is counter-revolutionary", "Have you ever kissed a boy? I mean a boy kissing a boy" and many, many more. The opening scene is so pornographic and comical, you can't help but laugh out loud. As Gudrun shouts political propaganda while having sex with her boyfriend, another member listens while masturbating with a gun in the next room, using it as a phallus, and then shooting off the gun as he climaxes. It's great. It, graphically, prepares you for what's to come (so to speak). I'm sure the use of guns as phallic symbols has crossed everyone's mind, but Bruce Labruce, as usual, takes everything way over the edge. It's all over the top, but it's all good. This is definitely not a film for all tastes, but if you're adventurous, you need to pick this up, and "ride it like a pony".

Let's talk about Political Porn,
By The Pony - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Raspberry Reich (DVD)
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...
