Yo amo a Hitler

Since no one is up for it, I'll do it myself...

I discovered this film literally inside a box. The DVD was edited by a certain Francisco Herrera, a disc that was about to die from so many scratches and that I was lucky enough to rescue by making a copy. The premise made it seem like a rather original absurd comedy, at that time it wasn't even on "Filmaffinity", and it had a sad "IMDB" listing, and the only trailer that was there had been made by the creators of the DVD, who sold it with this phrase "Imagine that World War III breaks out, and nobody goes...".

I thought I was going to find a bad comedy, but one that would at least make me laugh a little... But the truth is... I found a unique museum piece...

The plot of this film is about a German researcher who travels to Toledo because he thinks that Hitler could have hidden there after the war. But who does he find? A short man called Juan Pérez, who is always accompanied by a girl, Eva, and a magician who carries a ventriloquist doll of Hitler.

As I said, it seems like an absurd comedy, but suddenly the script disappears... it ceases to exist, and we find a medley of sketches and meaningless scenes with our investigator (Emil), Juan Pérez and with the doll as a recurring joke with its dirty comments. All this filled with archive footage from World War II, shoehorned in without any justification. And of course, they couldn't have forgotten the typical sex scenes of the time, including one with the doll (the most bizarre part of the entire film).

Finally we have a 75-minute film, with 49 minutes of fiction and 26 minutes of archive footage. In the end, do we find any sense? In my opinion, nothing at all. The only thing I keep is the doll's jokes. Nothing more. I saw it out of sheer curiosity, and it has become one of the worst films I have ever seen. Although it is still a bizarre "spectacle" worthy of being recognized and not forgotten in time. Yes, this film exists, and it can boast of having been released on DVD in Spain, unlike many other (and better) ones that were relegated to VHS and BETA tapes. I have, I don't know if I should say it, the small honor of having made this film known in some corners of the Internet. Although I feel more proud of having discovered others... let's be honest.

If you like authentic bizarre movies, this is your film. Now, I don't think you want to see it again, but you do want to recommend it to others, saying: "You have to see it to believe it...". As a curiosity, I showed this film to the creator of the "Cutrecon" festival. To whom I asked at the end of the viewing, "Is this film "pro-Nazi" or "anti-Nazi"?" and his answer was simply "It's so bad, it doesn't even know it..."
