What they say: “One must not always clearly fall into grief and despair, when the Third Reich
wants to edit a film. Here everything is pulled through the mud, which is not firmly nailed
is. The result is a funny film about the darkest part of German history, ”
Dr. Ilse of lightning is very satisfied. After Hitler’s death, she was able to save his brain and 1973
, technological progress is so far that they transplanted the brain into a new body
can. It has done so from the body parts of the greatest Germans patchwork Germanikus
tinkering. But as you brought Germanicus to life?Dracula will help, he knows
from the eternal life. But the famous Transylvanian with Hitler has ideological
problems. Dracula is a socialist because, after all, he comes from the East. As Captain appeared
on Berlin, Hitler’s nemesis, who has worked since the war’s end as the left journalist. Because
the one hand, he sees an opportunity to destroy Hitler’s final, and on the other hand, he has his
rescue daughter Mary, who has meanwhile fallen into the clutches of Dracula.
(Roughly translated by Google.)

What I say: It has been almost 18 years since the last time we have been graced by a Jorg Buttgereit film. That was Shramm in 1994. And while it is nice to see Jorgs name on something again, this is not like his previous work. It is a filmed stage play based on one of his first short films.

The film is funny and very over the top. It is truly a different side to the man. The subtitles were handled in a brilliant fashion. A lot of time they were word balloons just like a comic book. Very creative.

As long as you don’t go in expecting Nekromantik, I think you will enjoy it, especially comic book fans.

Film: 7/10
DVD: 7/10
