The Death of Stalin | 20th October, 2017 | Directed by Armando Iannucci | Starring several actors | Trailer on first page

Recommended Posts



Yeah, this is really funny. It doesn't hold back at all on how horrific this period in Russia was (lots of people die, brutally), and the laugh out loud dialogue combines to make it almost surreal. The 100 minutes flew by.

Given that Olga Kuryenko is Ukranian I knew the movie would not pass this by, given how Stalin treated the Ukraine.

Big prediction incoming:

 

The Russia controversy may be able to help this film's awareness and interest similarly to how the North Korean controversy helped The Interview.

 

Nah, this is a much more low profile release.  The Interview mostly got as much attention as it did because it’s a wide release Rogen/Franco comedy funded by a major studio

That movie made approximately "not much", so not exactly the best goal to aspire to.

I like how the Russians said Iannucci should mock his own country's government before mocking theirs, apparently oblivious to massive chunks of his previous work which does exactly that.

 

Anyway, for any Americans on the fence about this: see it. It's disturbingly funny.
