Trivia
On October 27, 2005, a Paris court decided that the film may not be shown anymore after August 23, 2006, because of copyright and trademark issues. In addition, producer Jürgen Brünning had to pay a fine of 17500 Euro. Plaintiff was the daughter of Alberto Korda, photographer of the famous Ché Guevara portrait.

Alternate versions
The UK DVD under the title 'The Raspberry Reich' released by Peccadillo Pictures is cut by 3 minutes 42 seconds, to remove explicit sexual detail which cannot be justified by context (although some detail was allowed to remain) for an 18 certificate. The DVD under the title 'The Revolution is my Boyfriend', released by Millivres Prowler is the full uncut version, rated R18, which means it can only be sold in licensed sex shops.

Interesting, but not what I was expecting

I saw this film at the Toronto International Film Festival, under the impression that it was something else. Having said that, as soon as I stopped being grossed out by the straight, and homosexual sex I found the movie quirky, and funny.

Its zesty comments on the German political scene, and almost avant-guard style add hilarity, to what the Director proclaimed as "soft porn."

Apparently if you've seen the director's other work, this film will come as no surprise.

Anyway from a technical standpoint it was well shot and edited. The film also has these amazing titles that pulsated a vivid red on the screen.

Saving the best for last, this film has these amazing mantras.

THE REVOLUTION IS MY BOYFRIEND!!!!!
