Long Island Jewish Film Festival
MY NEIGHBOR ADOLF
Starring David Hayman and Udo Kier
Saturday, April 15th at 1:00 PM
Members $10 | Public $15

In early 1960s Colombia, a cantankerous Holocaust survivor who passes his time tending to a garden growing black roses (his deceased wife’s favorite flower) and studying chess. His routine is interrupted by the arrival of a German man who he gradually becomes convinced is none other than Adolf Hitler. As potentially corny as the premise may sound, My Neighbor Adolf is a surprisingly resonant and yes, touching tale of loneliness and misunderstanding. It is also a master class in acting, with assured and nuanced performances by the Scottish actor David Hayman (Hope and Glory, Sid and Nancy, Rob Roy) and the great German veteran actor Udo Kier, who has worked extensively with top directors including Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, and Gus Van Sant. (Israel/Colombia/Poland, 2022, 96min., In English, German, Spanish, Yiddish, and Hebrew | Dir. Leon Prudovsky)
