Based around the real-life farce that occurred shortly after the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, Armando Iannucci's (Time Trumpet, The Thick of It, Veep) Death of Stalin bills itself as a 'comedy of terrors'. With an ensemble cast of comedy vets (Michael Palin, Steve Buscemi) and theatre wonders (Simon Russell Beale), Iannucci's film deflates rather dark passages of world history to show the sad, hilarious truths of how men act when confronted with a sudden power vacuum. Any good, Maria?
