Blackest of black comedies

Rating: 7/10 (14 April 2018)

An examination of the absurdities of dictatorships, where whats is acceptable is decided by who has the most power, even though all are in fact equally repugnant. The film is funny in places, but also truly horrifying in places when characters casually discuss or joke about truly evil acts. The characters are all well formed and acted, particular stand outs for me were Beria, Khruschev and Zhukov
