Jojo Rabbit, Taika Waititi’s Oscar-winning anti-hate satire, is now available for audiences to relive at home and add to their home video collection.

There’s a tricky way of addressing the Holocaust and/or World War 2 through satire and humor but Jojo Rabbit does so in a perfect way.

Very few films are able to tackle the subject through humor and get it right.  Or at least in way that isn’t tacky.  Making fun of the Nazis is something addressed through Ferne Pearlstein’s Solzy Award-winning documentary The Last Laugh.  It’s hard to think of the subject without thinking of Mel Brooks.  Brooks is one of the masters when it comes to poking fun at Nazis.  Taika Waititi is also a member of the tribe so he’s able to get away with the satirical approach here.  Granted, it’s more than just humor because I found myself trying to contain emotions late in the film.  The ability to tackle our pain through humor is something that bonds Jews across the world.

I am very happy to report that the heavily anticipated film from Taika Waititi lived up to expectations.  It’s so funny to watch the filmmaker essentially make fun of Hitler.  Overall, one of the best scenes comes very late in the room.  I’ll spare the fine details but it received the biggest combined laughs and applause during the premiere in Toronto.

Ignore the online discourse surrounding the film.  The fact that it’s now apart of the USC Shoah Foundation curriculum says everything you need to know about the film.  I said it when I saw the film during Toronto and I’ll say it again, Jojo Rabbit is right up there with the greatest satires poking fun at the Nazis.

After being available on Digital since February 4th, the Oscar-winning film is now available for viewers to watch on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
