Few things lend themselves to comedy and coming of age dramas as Adolph Hitler–or so Taika Watiti seems to think seeing that he’s written and directed a drama+comedy=dramedy that’s centered around a little boy who when times get tough leans on an imaginary hero, the aforementioned Hitler.

Though if you’re thinking Hitler is too fraught with peril to be the subject of comedy you’re wrong because Monty Python and Mel Brooks has been known to throw Jews, Hitler or an occasional Nazi into the mix.
