In Argentina, a cranky Holocaust survivor thinks that Adolf Hitler has moved in next door to him.
One of the final films from Udo Keir to hit the US (it was actually on the festival circuit in 2022 and released around the world in 2023), this is a frequently funny, if uneven comedy.
How you react to the film will be determined by how you react to David Hayman as Mr Polsky, the cranky man who finds his life turned upside down. Polsky is the sort of man you both laugh at and want to hit for being so unpleasant. It would have been better if the film found the balance that allowed him to be both funny or annoying, as it plays now he is one or the other.
Keir is, as always, wonderful.
Uneven or no, I liked this film. I laughed and had a good time, especially since this didn't really go as I expected.
Worth a look.
