Armando Iannucci | France/UK | 2017 | English with subtitles
From the creator of Veep and The Thick of It, Armando Iannucci transforms Soviet terror into dark comedy. When Stalin dies suddenly, his inner circle of frightened bureaucrats descends into chaos. The result is political farce played with deadly stakes.
The ensemble cast comprising Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, and Jason Isaacs delivers blistering performances that blend absurdity and menace.
Behind the laughter lies a sharp critique of totalitarian power and moral cowardice. It’s history rewritten as tragic satire, and few comedies bite harder.
