Raspberry Reich

The New York Times calls Raspberry Reich "a revolting and hilarious satire, which puts the man back in manifesto." Opening the evening is Guy Maddin's Sissy Boy Slap Party.

No one under 18 admitted. From one of gay filmmaking's most terrible enfants terribles, Raspberry Reich continues Bruce LaBruce's campaign to prove that sex is politics. Like his previous films Super 8Ω, Hustler White, and No Skin off My Ass, it locates revolutionary urges in the erogenous zone. Here a group of would-be German radicals act out the fantasies of the Baader-Meinhof Gang and the Symbionese Liberation Army, beginning in the bedroom and then taking it to the streets. (90 mins.)

This program begins with Guy Maddin's Sissy Boy Slap Party, in which a gang of pent-up, scantily clad sailors...well, you get the idea. (2004, 5 mins.)
