Getting a piece of the pie

 

The Death of Stalin (2017)


Directed by Armando Iannucci this film stars Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale and Jeffrey Tambor. As Stalin dies the rest of the party leaders scramble to come out on top.


As a farce this is a really funny film, the absurdity hits at every level. The film may be a little lacking in historical accuracy or saying anything about real power but if you can over look that it is very entertaining. With a little bit more attention to detail this could have been a really great film.


4/5
