THE DEATH OF STALIN (2017) Movie Trailer 2: Armando Iannucci’s Satire about Joseph Stalin

Steve Buscemi Jeffrey Tambor The Death of Stalin

The Death of Stalin Trailer 2

The second U.S. movie trailer for The Death of Stalin (2017) has been released by IFC Films. The particular film trailer is the family safe, green band version of the original The Death of Stalin trailer. I would say that most of the scenes in his trailer are new, unseen in any of the previous trailers for this film. From the new footage, this satire film is funnier than I thought it would be.

The Death of Stalin‘s plot synopsis: based on the graphic novel by Fabien Nury, “Moscow, 1953: 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 (Jeffrey Tambor), the wily Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), and the sadistic secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria (Simon Russell Beale). 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 bitingly funny takedown of bureaucratic dysfunction performed to the hilt by a sparkling ensemble cast.”
