Will the real Adolf Hitler please stand up?

Look Who's Back, the controversial Adolf Hitler satire adapted from Timur Vermes' novel of the same, took more than $20m at the box office last autumn.

Think Borat meets The Office, only the main protagonist happens to be a maniac with one testicle. He wakes up in a parking lot more than sixty years after his death but needless to say, nobody believes he is who he says he is because that would be insane.

The sight of the former Third Reich leader back on the streets of Germany troubled many Germans, but not everyone - Oliver Masucci was reportedly stopped and asked for selfies during filming. It may be one of the most controversial movies of the year but it'll have to go some way to eclipse the short-lived 90s sitcom Heil Honey I'm Home.

It's Springtime for Hitler on Netflix; Look Who's Back is streaming from April 9th.
