PODCAST| Angelo Acerbi interviews Armando Iannucci, director of the film The Death of Stalin.
Armando Iannucci, director of The Death of Stalin, tells us about the birth of this incredible and great film. Taken from a graphic novel, it is a comical and hysterical trip into the structure of absolute power and the stupidity that often surrounds it. With an incredible cast that will blow you away.
The Death of Stalin: 1953 seems like any other year during Stalin’s mandate: confident (but not overly so) of his power, he continues to order the murder or deportation of dissidents, to suppress freedom of expression and to make sure the circle of people revolving around him toes the line. One morning, when he is found lying on the floor, his coterie panics… And obviously, the race to become his successor begins. Who will win out over the others: Khrushchev, who is more like a Mafioso than a politician; the loose cannon Molotov; mild-mannered Zhukov; or evil Beria?
