An absolute gem

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2020)

Let me preface that I was born and raised in communism. This dark comedy draws a vivid caricature of the system, the mentalities, the atmosphere and does it perfectly. It shows an bittersweet understanding of the workings of stalinism in a way very few western movies ever do. It has ups and downs, a brilliantly fast pace, outrageously good acting for the most part. Cannot fault it, honestly. I must have seen it 5 times already and it gets better each time, amazing.
