I pictured Steve Buscemi viscerally when I read the story upthread about Kruschev. I sure hope Death of Stalin is a reasonably accurate pastiche of those figures because it's my main impression of them.

The timeline is compressed and key characters in the drama are shuffled in jobs and time for dramatic effect. It is almost as if adapted from a stage play, very much about the egos in the room. It has been critizised for ignoring the systematic banality of mass murder, but I think that misses the point of the movie.
