My Neighbor Adolf 06/27/26

Here’s a rather good picture that’s a tough sell. We especially admire its comic tightrope act … there’s no humor in the Holocaust, but there always is in human nature. It’s a potentially grim story positioned as comedy, or an odd kind of anti-comedy. David Hayman is a cranky old concentration camp survivor living in self-imposed isolation in South America, who witnesses the impossible happening next door. All the clues point to his mystery neighbor (Udo Kier) being the most reveiled monster of the century, somehow still alive. Is it really a comedy?  The Polish-Israeli film goes where few comedies dare to tread. We liked it. On Blu-ray from Cohen Media Group.
