Synopsis

The Death of Stalin

When dictator Joseph Stalin dies, his parasitic cronies square off in a frantic power struggle to become the next Soviet leader. As they bumble, brawl and back-stab their way to the top, the question remains — just who is running the government?

The Libertine

French philosopher Denis Diderot produces the first encyclopedia while indulging in 18th-century decadence.
