Already in wide release in Germany and a selection at the ongoing Karlovy Vary festival in the Czech Republic, Heil is a go-for-broke political satire about a neo-Nazi group who capture a black, amnesiac left wing writer and brainwash him to go out delivering their white supremacist message. Because what could be better than a white-power spouting black man on daytime television, right?
This is obviously very touchy subject matter in Germany and after so many uber-serious treatments of the nation's past it's more than a little refreshing to see someone give the whole topic a sharp poke in the eye. Check out the trailer below.
