New Australian comedy horror Gnomes asks if Nazis can still be laughed at

Original: New Australian comedy horror asks if we can still laugh at Nazis By Velvet Winter and Yasmin Jeffery Gnomes co-writer Te

A new Australian comedy horror film called Gnomes features killer garden ornaments and uses its absurd premise to ask whether it is still acceptable to laugh at Nazis. Co-writer Tegan Higginbotham says she remains amazed that Sex Education star Asa Butterfield travelled to Australia to lead the cast of the homegrown production.

Why now: The film's provocative blend of comedy and Nazi themes, plus the surprise casting of a British star, has sparked debate about the limits of humour.
