This German made movie is a lot of things, but forgettable certainly isn't one of them.
It tells the story of Adolf Hitler as he wakes up in 2014 dazed and confused. He sets about finding his place in this new world and is quickly picked up by the media as an entertainment sensation.
It's a hard movie to pigeon hole, it's genre would be very difficult to clarify. One thing is for certain it's justifiably controversial but things aren't as simple as they first appear.
This movie isn't propaganda, it has no agenda, I can see people on the left calling this a right wing movie, I can see people on the right calling this a left wing movie. Truth be told it's about as centrist as it could possibly be and is a powerful piece of social commentary.
With strong performances especially by leading man Oliver Masucci (Hitler) it's a remarkable piece that walks a fine line between offensive and genius.
It's not funny, it's not exactly dramatic but it is fairly clever and certainly memorable.
I can understand why a lot of people would be disgusted by the film. It's comparable to if they made a movie about Jimmy Saville returning from the grave and opening a daycare center. It's eyebrow raising, it's questionable, but if you watch it with an open mind and really pay attention to what you're watching you'll see it's remarkably deep.
Not for everyone, but is a fascinating watch no matter your social or political leanings.
The Good:
Oliver Masucci
Very clever
Memorable
The Bad:
Causes the skin to crawl in places
Highly questionable
