A better version of that failed Sky pilot from the 90s

 

My Neighbor Adolf (2022)


Directed by Leon Prudovsky this film stars David Hayman, Udo Kier, Olivia Silhavy and Kineret Peled. A holocaust survivor living in South America in the 1960s tries to convince the Israeli embassy that his neighbour is Adolf Hitler.


Obviously it would be really easy to mishandle this subject matter however the film does a fairly good job of negotiating that particular minefield. While the film manages not to step on any landmines I am not sure it ever really hits the subject matter out of the park. Worth a watch even if it is a little uncomfortable in places.


3/5
