Plot: When tyrannical dictator Josef Stalin dies in 1953, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. Among the contenders are the dweebish Georgy Malenkov, the wily Nikita Khrushchev and Lavrenti Beria, the sadistic secret police chief.
Saw it on Netflix. It came recommended and I had my doubts. I thought maybe Monty Pythonesque but no. The trailer doesn't really give you the feel, but it's a scream. It is absolutely wicked. Evil genius. And I nearly choked, I nearly weed myself I laughed so hard.
