The Death of Stalin, the comedy and tragedy of power

I just re-watched The Death of Stalin (2017) for the first time since 2017. It is gripping; it reviles me and makes me smile. It's a ragtag ensemble film with all kind of wonderful actors and Jason Isaacs, Steve Buscemi and Simon Russell Beale stand out. Andrea Riseborough and Olga Kurylenko make good but limited female representation. It's a bit "clever" but contains a lot to savour.
