As a huge fan of Veep and Avenue 5 I was curious to see The Death of Stalin which was written and directed by Armando Iannucci. Steve Buscemi plays Nikita Khrushchev, Jeffrey Tambor is Georgy Malenkov, Stalin's successor. I was excited to see Michael Palin (Molotov) as I loved him in Monty Python and haven't seen him since A Fish Called Wanda which I also loved. I was unfamiliar with the actors who played Stalin and Beria but they both were very good. Rupert Friend (Vasily) was great as the OTT paranoid son of Stalin. My favorite part of the movie was Jason Isaacs as Field Marshal Zhukov, the head of the Russian military.
