Movie review
From Time Out New York
The spirit of May '68 lives on in acts of 69 in punk-porn polemicist and cinema poacher Bruce LaBruce's far-out saga of fellating freedom fighters. Quoting Warhol, Godard's La Chinoise and Dusan Makavejev's WR: Mysteries of the Organism, LaBruce's revolutionary melodrama about a Baader-Meinhof–like group drolly mixes Marxism with man-on-man meat shots to both skewer and celebrate radical chic. As he demonstrated in his magnificent Super 8 1/2, the filmmaker is one smarty-pants homo auteur who isn't afraid to show off—and more important, offer an invigorating alternative to the usual tepid queer-cinema fare.Author: MA
