The Misandrists Villains

Despite name- checking Schopenhauer and Ulrike Meinhof, and including a brief lecture on parthenogenesis, the movie is far more silly than subversive. At first, there's a certain cheesy charm to the Eurotrash '7. More often, his films have been mock- Brechtian sexercises with faux- nouvelle vague flourishes, wooden acting and cheeky titles like No Skin Off My Ass or Give Piece of Ass a Chance. After taking a somewhat conventional detour in 2. Gerontophilia, a radical cross- generational love story that was surprisingly tame, he's back in outre territory here. That should guarantee The Misandrists a modicum of exposure through specialized LGBT platforms.
Or at least those where a graphic vaginoplasty or jumbo butt- plug insertion is considered palatable viewing. The movie is billed as a companion piece to the director's 2. The Raspberry Reich, which starred Susanne Sachsse as an anarchist leader whose plan to liberate the oppressed involved forcing her male acolytes to have sex with one another. This time around, the platinum- wigged Sachsse plays Big Mother, whose cover is an isolated convent school for abused and delinquent girls in the German countryside.
In reality, students and teachers are the nucleus of a plan to build an army of female lovers bent on erasing men from society. But into that lesbian separatist stronghold, a man is introduced when Isolde (Kita Updike) finds injured anti- capitalist radical Volker (Til Schindler) in the woods, and hides him in the basement while she nurses him back to health. La. Bruce's script introduces us to each of the FLA soldiers and their various couplings, while Big Mother elaborates on her (wo)manifesto over dinner.
- The Misandrists begin with Volker, a young man with an injured leg, stumbling through the forest, pursued by the police and their tracking dogs.

In preparation to make the first of the lesbian porn films with which the group will spread its message, the two official pornographers are required to study gay male raunch videos for technique. Juicy flashes of that research material seem less justified by plot requirements than by La. Bruce throwing a bone, so to speak, to his core audience. Big Mother demands that the girls share freely in one another's carnal delights, and slow- mo sexy pillow fights give the impression of a utopian collective on a giddy estrogen high. But dissent grows in the ranks, beginning when lovestruck Hilde (Olivia Kundisch) can't persuade Isolde to sleep with her, so she blabs about her basement guest. Isolde may have another secret, and there's also an undercover cop in their midst, though her insatiable Sapphic appetites have made her a convert to the cause. Even the politically sympathetic Volker proves open to recruitment, though his eligibility requires surgical adjustments.
All this is certainly campy and demented, led by a game bunch of women whose assortment of accents and self- conscious performance styles recall both European softcore porn of the Emmanuelle era and the vintage Italian schlock horror of Lucio Fulci. La. Bruce acknowledges an element of homage to Don Siegel's The Beguiled and Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen.
But the plotting grows haphazard and illogical; the female- forward linguistic correctives (an unexpected knock at the door prompts one FLA soldier to exclaim: . Though stick around to the end if you want a novel serving suggestion for boiled eggs at your next brunch.

Brilliant and well worth the wait. I second the comment regarding a request for expanding on the topic of feminist-enabled single motherhood. Minor point 1: maybe you.
