MOSCOW, 1953. Stalin is dead. The new film The Death of Stalin, a bitingly sharp political satire, traces the days following the death of the USSR dictator – and The Senior has five ticket packs to give away.
Loosely based on true events, it features a stellar ensemble cast including Steve Buscemi, Rupert Friend, Simon Russell, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Isaacs and Olga Kurylenko.
When tyrannical dictator Joseph Stalin drops dead, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to be the next Soviet leader.
Among the contenders are the dweeby Georgy Malenkov (Tambor), the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Buscemi), and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Russell).
But as they bumble, brawl, and backstab their way to the top, just who is running the government? Combining palace intrigue with rapid-fire farce, this audacious comedy is a hilarious takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast.
We have five ticket packs, each containing four tickets, to give away.
