The Death of Stalin - re-watched
I re-watched "The Death of Stalin"(2017) the other night. For those who do not know it, it's a dark comedy about the Soviet Government in the wake of Stalin's death in 1953, with an awesome cast including Steve Buscemi , Michael Palin and Jason Isaacs.
Made by the same team as "The Thick of it" it captures the absurdity of the power struggle after Stalin's demise. While some jokes probably require some historic background knowledge to fully appreciate them, it's stunning how historically accurate the movie is (though events are heavily condensed).
If you are into that kind of humour (and are not offended by the casual brutality) I highly recommend it.
