“The revolution is my boyfriend”

DramaActionComedyThriller

Gudrun has modeled her amateur German terrorist group after the 1970s Red Army Faction (Baader-Meinhof Gang). She attempts to imitate her heroes by kidnapping the son of a wealthy industrialist and hopes to negotiate leftist demands from the father. When Gudrun’s not spouting leftist verses (including during a hilariously brilliant fuck session), she’s trying to convince her all-male gang to abandon their heterosexuality, which she believes is the result of mass delusion.

VIBE

A provocative, unsettling, and campy thriller that explores radical politics and extreme sexuality. It's a daring, intense ride through revolutionary fervor and power plays, best suited for a late-night viewing or with friends who appreciate the unconventional.
