    • Trivia
      The video that the boss of the constitution department is giving to his secretary to check is an actual link to the short film "One Shot" by Dietrich Brüggemann, the director of "Heil", starring some of the actors from "Heil". He posted this video on his own YouTube-Channel. The film is a no-budget-movie about xenophobia, in which a young man named Kerem explains the issues about being gay in societies and a couple of people who make a movie about it.

      Sebastian Klein: [repeated line while he has amnesia] Pillow fight!

    • Crazy credits
      The opening credits, displayed over newspaper articles, nazi related footage etc, keep changing the fonts to the rhythm of the theme song, some of them are styled after German Newspapers, like "Bild", "Spiegel" etc.
    • Connections
      References Tatort (1970)

    A spot-on black comedy / political satire cocktail

    I guess one should live in Germany for a while to understand how extremely precise and funny all observations made in this comedy are. This is probably one of the best German black comedies ever. Watching this felt like a long, breathtaking rollercoaster from the very first scene to the very end. I haven't laughed so hard since I don't remember when. I haven't laughed so hard ever watching a German comedy.

    Herr Brüggemann and whole cast did a tremendous job. So honestly, Deutsche, Bewohner der Städte, der Dörfe and basically anyone else who has a taste for good tough comedies - don't trust low ratings and go watch it. This movie just should not be in the 5 out of 10 stars area.
