Love this or else.

Rating: 6/10 (2 March 2018)

This is a light-hearted look at genocide, repression, police states and all the other amusing aspects of tyranny and enslavement. Gee, what's next, Springtime for Hitler? How 'bout a rollicking comedy and musical about the Middle Passage? Or Pol Pot's killing fields? Good God Almighty. I spent the entire movie appalled as Beria (Simon Beale) and Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi) jockey to take over from the just-deceased Stalin, from the slapstick attempt to move Stalin's body to working their limousines into the funeral procession. I guess this is funny to a generation which knows nothing about the horror show that was the USSR. Won't watch this again, comrade.
