Disappearing the Truth | What The Death of Stalin is Really About (Film Analysis)

Despots and their demise....

We are often warned about politicians manipulating us with fear but rarely warned about politicians manipulating us with comfort.

Friendly smiles mixed with comfortable lies can produce a lethal poison, a poison the ministers in The Death of Stalin know use to secure power.
