Review of The Death of Stalin (2017) by Thefilmfanatic — 20 Apr 2018
The Death of Stalin is a witty, smartly-written political satire that takes a fascinating look at the inner workings of a past Russian government. The hilarious performances, strong historical themes and Iannucci’s direction help elevate this story past satire into being both an outrageous comedy and dissection of Russian politics.
This film should not have worked given the topic and yet Iannucci found a way to make something hysterical and memorable.
