A comedy of terrors.
The one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in this uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop). Moscow, 1953: when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweeby Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale). But as they bumble, brawl, and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast.
“… punchy, raucous, savagely smart screen comedy… ” Kevin Maher – The Times (UK)
“The Death of Stalin” is a wickedly funny, pointedly scathing satire of corrupt power run amok.” Joe Bendel – Epoch Times
“The film is uproariously funny but painfully close to the bone in a world where once again the lunatics have taken over the asylum.” Lisa Mullen – Sight and Sound
