Day 9:

This satire is certainly going to rub some people the wrong way. The core concept of Adolf Hitler reappearing in modern day Germany is handled in a number of way throughout the film making this an incredibly unique if a little uneven experience.

Occasionally this film strikes a series tone and tackles issues of the media's role in spreading hateful messages and the underlying prejudice that can often go unchecked in everyday life. Other times the film features Sacha Baron Cohen style man on the street segments relying on cringe humour. Neither of these elements are done badly but the film often fails to link the two ideas and when it introduces a meta element (one very reminiscent of the third act of Charlie Kaufman's Adaptation) the whole thing begins to feel like a tonal mess.
