Die Misandristinnen

Somewhere in Ger(wo)many. The Female Liberation Army (FLA) terrorist cell is preparing to overthrow the patriarchy and install a new female world order. To this end, their leader Big Mother has gathered a group of eight difficult-to-educate girls around her, whom she trains together with her comrades on a remote country estate. To the outside world, the estate is disguised as a Catholic boarding school. In order to finance the revolution and spread their own ideology, the women want to film and distribute feminist pornography. But when one of the ‘boarding school students’ discovers an injured radical left-wing soldier in the forest and secretly takes him to the estate's cellar to nurse him back to health, the strict house rules threaten to fall apart at the seams. In order to save the revolution, Big Mother has to resort to drastic measures ...

The film by Canadian cult director Bruce LaBruce functions as a sequel to his infamous propaganda porn satire THE RASPBERRY REICH (2005). It is not without reason that some may think of Sofia Coppola's latest film when they think of the story: like Coppola's THE MISANDRISTS (2017), THE MISANDRISTS is a remake of Don Siegel's Civil War melodrama THE BEGUILED (1971). LaBruce compensates for the much smaller budget of THE MISANDRISTS with the casting of queer underground stars (Susanne Sachße, Kembra Pfahler) and radical directorial ideas that push the boundaries of good taste to the extreme.
