Look Who's Back (2015)

Film · 1h 56m · In German

Comedy, Foreign (non-English)

A reawakened dictator is mistaken for a comedian, becoming a darkly comic media sensation in modern Berlin.

Absurdist and campy, with dark satire. A late-night trip at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
