What Happens When Hitler Meets Christ?


“Two men meet in a train station. One believes he's Hitler, the other, Christ.”

This sets the scene for a new movie entitled Hitler Meets Christ, written by Michael Moriarty, the Emmy and Golden Globe award winning star of Law & Order. The cast is compromised of Michael Moriarty and Wyatt Page and is scheduled to premiere on March 2nd at the 17th Annual Cinequest Film Festival in San Jose, California.

The movie is described as a dark comedy. As Moriarty explains, “It's a comedy in as much as it allows the audience to laugh at Hitler, and it’s a tragedy in that he’s really a poor homeless man trapped and imprisoned by the soul of Hitler." Besides tragedy and comedy, the other polar opposites of this film are clearly good and evil: it “is about the tenacity of Christ and his love — and Hitler's agony in the face of it.”

The trailer is very...interesting. You can view it
