EditThe Death of Stalin (2017)

En af de sjoveste og mest markante politiske satirikere i vores tid er endeligt vendt tilbage til det store lærred med et sønderrivende indblik i regimet under en overvægtig bølle, som kræver utænkelig loyalitet og forventer, at virkeligheden tilpasser sig hans mindste vink. Vi taler, naturligvis, om Joseph Stalin: Efter at have spiddet det 21. århundredes Hvide Hus i Veep og In the Loop, trak Armando Iannucci sig tilbage, inden virkeligheden kom til at overskygge hans opfundne tåbeligheder og uhyrligheder. Heldigvis for både ham og biografgængere er smålighed, forfængelighed og indbyrdes stridigheder konstante faktorer blandt de magtsøgende (The Hollywood Reporter).

One of the funniest and most distinctive political satirists of our time has finally returned to the big screen, with a lacerating look at the regime of an overweight bully who demands unthinking loyalty and expects reality to conform to his every dictum. We're speaking, of course, about Joseph Stalin: Having skewered 21st-century White Houses in Veep and In the Loop, Armando Iannucci got out before reality made his invented stupidities and outrages unremarkable. Fortunately for him and for moviegoers, pettiness, vanity and infighting are constants among those in search of power. (The Hollywood Reporter)
