Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Director Armando Iannucci (Veep) depicts the power grab that ensued after Joseph Stalin died of a stroke in 1953. The Soviet Union's leaders soon dive headlong into a farcical but ruthless game of bargaining, deception, and backstabbing. Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name by Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin. Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, Michael Palin, and Jason Isaacs star. ~ Kaitlin Elise Miller, Rovi

Based on the comic books The death of Stalin by Fabien Nury and Thierry Robin.
Originally released as a motion picture in 2017.
Wide screen.
MPAA rating: R; for language throughout, violence and some sexual references.
When the tyrannical ruler Stalin dies, his hapless inner circle scrambles to come up with the next evolution of the revolution, but it's clear everyone is really out for themselves. Proof that comedy, like politics, is all in the execution.
Special features: Dictators, murders and comrades... Oh my! ; deleted scenes.
