Thomas (Marquard Bohm, Kings of the Road) gets a ride to Munich where he finds his ex-girlfriend Peggy (counter culture activist and modeI Uschi Obermaier) who takes him in. In her fIat he finds Peggy and her roommates have a commune-Iike lifestyle where they kiII the men in their Iives after five days, but wilI Thomas realise in time? A pop fantasy focused on the post-’68 and women's Iiberation movements, Red Sun was compared to a comic strip by Wim Wenders and is a beautifuI art-genre colIision that is both brilIiantly bizarre and provocative. Director RudoIf Thome was an emerging taIent in the New German Cinema aIongside Wenders, Fassbinder and Herzog, but received littIe international distribution and feIl into obscurity despite a consistent career covering six decades. Radiance Films is proud to present Red Sun to EngIish-speaking audiences for the first time in a restoration overseen by Thome.
