Goulburn Film Group
- The Death of Stalin (MA15+), Sunday July 19, time on enquiry, Lilac City Cinema, McKell Place. Enquiries: Stephen Chapman 4829 0111
A satire/comedy where one-liners fly as fast as political fortunes fall in an uproarious, wickedly irreverent satire from Armando Iannucci (Veep, In the Loop). Moscow, 1953, when tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the weedy Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale). But as they bumble, brawl, and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast. Cost: $10.
