Unlike other countries, where satire about the Holocaust and the Nazis are already common such an approach is in Germany completely new. Afraid of being once again under the allegation that the Germans are still a bunch of Nazis, German filmmakers so far never touched this topic. Therefore the strong reactions against this feature by various Jewish groups and celebrities.
They shouldn't have worried. Director Dani Levy, though making fun of the Nazi party and Hitler, in still never diminishes the dangerous situation and their inhumanity.
The film starts at the end of 1944. The war is already lost, Berlin is destroyed, the Nazi administration solidified, Hitler (Helge Schneider) in deep depression. Goebbels (Sylvester Groth), in an desperate turn to get Hitler on stage to give a marvelous speech, gets Hitlers old Jewish speaking tutor Prof. Grünbaum (Ulrich Mühe) from the concentration camp back to the Führerbunker in order to support Hitler.
Helge Schneider, who so far showed little acting talent (his so called comedies before had little to do with acting) surprises here with an impressive performance, while Ulrich Mühe is as always reliable and very good.
But sadly, instead of really bringing a biting satire to the screen, Dani Levy managed only a fairly funny film. There are some hilarious jokes, but most of the time it stays in already known ground and the the proceedings are often enough simply meek. It's a good movie, but not a great one. A chance missed.
