🗓 Monday, July 27 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Directed by Armando Iannucci, The Death of Stalin is a razor-sharp political satire that chronicles the chaotic power struggle that followed the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in 1953. Featuring an ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Jeffrey Tambor, Michael Palin and Jason Isaacs, the film transforms one of history’s darkest periods into a blisteringly funny examination of power, fear, and political opportunism.
Drawing on real historical events while embracing absurd comedy, Iannucci’s film exposes the paranoia and incompetence lurking behind authoritarian rule. Acclaimed for its writing and performances, The Death of Stalin has become one of the most celebrated political satires of the 21st century.
