    was brand new. It was about some little kid whose mom was a prostitute in Nazi Germany with two boyfriends one a Nazi and the other a Jew. Her little kid decided he wasn't going to grow any taller and threw himself down the stairs and stopped growing. He had some weird talent for breaking glass by screaming in a real high pitch voice. It was German with subtitles.

    I remember my friends with HBO gushing about it because of the sex scenes. I never saw it, though.

    So it has Nazis, Jews, and is Bizarre, funny, and eccentric?

    Uh, sounds like a bomb, not the bomb, just a bomb.

    Is it like Swing Heil part I?

    Was it funny cause the kid threw himself down the stairs so he would be put in a wheelchair?

    Or because his mom was giving crabs to the reich and the jewish community?

    I thought it was pretty funny when the little kid that could'nt grow any more let his baby sitter lick sugar out of his hand in exchange for sex and wound up impregnating her on the beach and then the baby they had grew up and would bully his father (oscar the screamer who could break glass with his voice). If I remember correctly.

    Well if you need snob appeal it did win best an academy award for best foreign film but I think it also has some street appeal kind of like the other old classics from it's time like A clockwork orange, Harold and Maude, and Blade Runner.
