Zimus sam dobio ovaj film... Glavna glumica me jako podseca na nasu Tramp...
The Raspberry Reich is an art/porn film that uses pornography as a starting point to examine sexual politics and homosexual radicalism. The film is about „radical chic“, specifically the phenomenon of the modern left in Germany adopting the signifiers and postures of extreme left wing movements of the seventies, particuarly the Red Army Faction, also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang. In the film Gudrun (Susanne Sachsse) leads a group of revolutionaries in 1960's Berlin who kidnap the son of a wealthy industrialist to draw attention to their anti-capitalist cause. Spouting rhetoric - „The Revolution is my boyfriend.“, „Marriage is licensed prostitution,“ „Meat is murder,“ „Heterosexuality is the opiate of the masses.“ - Gudrun demands that her followers, engage in homosexual sex with each other in order to be true revolutionaries.
The film's style is propagandistic. The actors are placed in rooms wallpapered with photographs of Gudrun Ensslin, Ulrike Meinhof, Andreas Baader, and Che Guevara. This symbolises the historical connection to the RAF. At several points during the film, the action pauses while the characters recite long passages from Vaneigem's The Revolution of Everyday Life, as though they are speaking from their own thoughts. Onscreen titles are also used to convey and enhance political messages.
Pornography plays a large visual role in the film. The opening sequence is an extended montage of sexual activity (some of it unsimulated), as is the film's climactic scene.
Humour is employed to explore the gap between reality and ideal in the terrorist world. For example, after the kidnapping is complete, the terrorists who are sworn vegetarians for political reasons ("meat is counter revolutionary") visit Burger King, a multinational corporate fast food chain.
Bruce LaBruce (born 3 January 1964) is a Canadian writer, film-maker, and photographer based in Toronto. He was born Justin Stewart in Southampton, Ontario. He first gained public attention with the publication of the queer punk zine J.D.s, which he co-edited with G.B. Jones. He currently writes and photographs for Honcho and Inches, and has made a number of controversial films which merged the artistic techniques of independent film with gay pornography. He has also previously been a columnist for the Canadian music magazine Exclaim! and Toronto's eye weekly.

Nisam siguran koliko forum tolerise ovakve filmove. Nije pornic, bar ne u onom klasicnom smislu. Ako je pornografija zabranjena, onda nista, brisemo temu...

), pa se pitam vredi li gledati ga da ga poguram ka vrhu spiska ili da ga maknem skroz. Hm?
