Armando Iannucci's biting satire takes on history and black comedy in 'The Death of Stalin'
It is a curious thing, this world, spinning in chaos, its politics no longer bound by gravity. It troubles and amuses Armando Iannucci, a sly satirist with a soft voice, who glances into a coffee cup and, with little warning, ditches his Scottish accent and imitates the leader of the free world.
"Hey, I tell ya, this is the best coffee I've ever had. I mean the Seoul coffee was good. But the coffee we had in our hotels, I'll tell you, there was one day a guy came in, he was from China. China, by the way, is where...," said Iannucci, as if hitched to one of President Trump's circuitous thoughts.
"His speech is like five apps opening simultaneously," Iannucci added of Trump. "He's engulfed in his own speech bubble. I don't think you could come up with a fictionalized version of Trump. He's his own satire."
