VIDEO: Netflix will show this controversial Borat-style comedy about Adolf Hitler

Netflix have bought up a controversial comedy film about Adolf Hitler.

The Borat-style film, called 'Look Who's Back', imagines the dead Nazi leader coming back to the streets of Berlin. It has been a box office hit in Germany and sees Hitler wake up in the modern day. It shows a rather baffled Fuhrer grappling with the internet, being beset by segways and generally looking confused by everything from dodgems to yoghurt. We see him Googling 'world domination', trying to set up an email account and going on a TV talk show to chat about being evil. There surely cannot be a greater fish-out-of-water story than this? (Okay, maybe Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure). The film is expected to make its debut on Netflix on April 9 and comes after the success of Amazon Prime's 'The Man in the High Castle' which pictures the world if Hitler had actually won the Second World War. The film is based on Timur Vermes’ best-selling novel. https://youtu.be/AtW1Lq5c04E
