Steve Buscemi

If Nashville was Altman’s ode to country music, then Kansas City is his great love ballad to Kansas City jazz. In loose swings and percussive blasts, this 1930s crime drama ripples with intrigue while boasting a stellar ensemble cast of acting and music legends, like the late, great Harry Belafonte.

Armando Ianucci, the brilliant comic mind behind The Thick of It, turns to the tyranny of Stalinism for this profoundly funny, absurdist romp. With its all-star cast and a masterful control of tone, The Death of Stalin is a breakneck farce and the only rightful heir to Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove.
