The Death of Stalin

[Captain Blood]

Saw this last night. Absolutely brilliant. Hilarious and horrifying at the same time. The blackest of black comedies, and with a cast of completely wonderful actors wringing every delicious drop from their hideous characters.
Loved it. Highly recommended.

[Ragnar]

Ok, that looks good.

[Elbows]

Good, saw the trailer many moons ago - will see it.

[Ballardian]

 Good film, Iannucci potrays the fear, bitterness & backbiting of Uncle Joe's court brilliantly. Yes, it may have a few factual innaccuracies (none big enough to derail the film), but it's a comedy film - not a documentary (it's also fantastically funny) - if you like your comedy with a side order of bleakness & absurdity you will not be dissapointed.

[Keith]

Can't wait to see this.

[Zaheer]

I'd love to see this. Ironically it's been airbrushed from my local cinema's website after the advance screenings. Very strange, but that's Cornwall for you!

I am a big fan of Armando Iannucci but had not heard of this one being in the works. Great news!And it seems indeed to be a star cast: Jeff Tambour, Paul Whitehouse, Steve Buscemi...

And "Hello to Jason Isaacs"!

[Captain Blood]

He (Isaacs) was brilliant. Stole the movie - and he's not in it until over halfway through!

[FramFramson]

Quite eager to see it - I've heard nothing but good things.

Saw loads of adverts on the tube last week but only just watched the trailer on the basis of this thread. It looks brilliant. I like the fact that they've just gone "Russian accents, nah fuck it". L

That's a good move. Fake Russian has a tendency to make the whole shebang appear contrived.

Sean Connery?

Yes, my view too. I think it would detract from the performances too.

Sean Connery?

In his Russian "shubmarine"!

Or as an Egyptian Spaniard.

Or an Irish American?
