The Death of Stalin
2017 · TMDB 7.0
Directed by Armando Iannucci
When dictator Joseph Stalin dies, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains — just who is running the government?
Why it matters
A political farce about the power struggle that followed Stalin's death, with a cast of British comedy actors playing Soviet leaders.
