New Zealander filmmaker Taika Waititi and British actor Stephen Merchant break down a scene from his satirical black comedy Jojo Rabbit in the above video.
In the scene five Gestapo agents visit the home of a young German boy (played by Roman Griffin Davis) whose mother (Scarlett Johansson) was hiding a young Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie).
Tall and lanky Merchant plays a creepy Gestapo agent in the very Monty Pythonesque scene, that begins with lots of ‘Heil Hitlers’.
Taika counted 31 ‘Heil Hitlers’ were said in the space of a minute.
So, press the top left play button on the above feature image to watch the video.
Taika and Merchant finish the video refuting the idea put forward by some have that comedies should stay away from doing films about Nazis.
