The Raspberry Reich is a 2004 film by director Bruce LaBruce that centers around a terrorist group consisting of a female leader and several young men. LaBruce says that the film is an in-depth look at “innate radical potential of homosexual expression,” as well as cult dynamics.

The Raspberry Reich is stocked full of people participating in multiple acts of intimate expression. From the opening scene until the closing credits, acts of real unsimulated passion are shown in great detail. In 2017 LaBruce released a film titled Ulrike’s Brain, which the director says is intended to be a sort of prequel to The Raspberry Reich.
