Dark Gallows Humor Film with Great acting performances

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2020)

I don't know much about Russia's history, especially in regards to the rise of Communism. And like many people, I was skeptical about the idea of making a comedy set during Stalin's regime. Even with a cool all-star cast of great actors including Monty Python's Michael Palin, I was skeptical.
Well, I love it when I'm wrong!
This is a really hilarious film, if you like extremely dark comedy that is quite morbid. I also thought the idea of all the actors not using Russian accents or speaking Russian is interesting. I highly enjoyed this film and Jason Isaacs is priceless as a strange general.
