Er ist wieder da (pronounced [ʔeːɐ̯ ʔɪst ˈviːdɐ daː]; literal translation: "There he is again", published in English as Look Who's Back) is a 2015 German comedy film directed by David Wnendt,[1] based on the bestselling[2] satirical novel of the same name about Adolf Hitler by Timur Vermes.[3][4][5] The film features unscripted vignettes of Oliver Masucci as Hitler interacting with German civilians while in character, interspersed with scripted storyline sequences.[6]
Plot
Adolf Hitler wakes up in present-day Berlin, with no memory of anything that happened after 1945, and interprets modern situations and things from a Nazi perspective.[1][3][5][7] He is mistaken for a method actor or a comedian, and lands himself a career in television, to which he takes advantage of for a political comeback.
