Er ist wieder da
Adolf Hitler (Oliver Masucci) wakes up in present-day Berlin with no memory of anything that happened after 1945. It's a big transition for him but when he comes to term with it, he quickly sees the potential in internet and 24/7 TV. People first assume that he's a performance artist and his comedy is a huge success. As time goes by, a growing number of people are starting to see it as accurate critique of our society and praise him when they meet...
The film is based on a satirical bestseller and became a financial success. One of the teasers sold it to me with its documentary style and meetings with real people. Unfortunately it's also a very uneven comedy. I found a few of the conversations to be really funny and the film toed the line of what you can joke about but at times they regressed to boring slapstick humor. The storyline with Fabian Sawatzki (Fabian Busch) also leaves a lot to be desired with a cliché so common and hated that Family Guy made fun of it years ago.
It's an interesting idea but the execution was poorly done. I'm told the novel is better.
