The Death of Stalin

Directed by Armando Iannucci

Written by Fabien Nury, David Schneider, Armando Iannucci, Fabien Nury, Ian Martin

When dictator Joseph Stalin dies, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains — just who is running the government?
