Members Riobard Posted April 23, 2018 Members Share Posted April 23, 2018 Revisionist historical comedy is tricky but this one resonates with current event power plays. Characters in farce are harder to relate to than in traditional drama ... Tambor and Buscemi pull it off. But maybe it worked for me because of memories of Tambor's hilarious turns in Larry Sanders and some of the pathos of Transparent. Buscemi can be very very funny in roles but project take-no-prisoners menace as in Boardwalk Empire. Less familiar actors would not have worked for me. Perhaps one reason to catch this film is that it is banned in Russia, and I don't think it is just because it goes for laughs around the shenanigans of scrambling for survival following the death of a mass murderer. Sending up politics there does not fly well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
