In the Loop
The fate of the world is on the line.
Directed by Armando Iannucci
Produced by Aramid Entertainment, BBC Film
A scathing, frenetic political satire that uses absurdist humor and rapid-fire dialogue to skewer governmental incompetence and the machinery of war.
The US President and the UK Prime Minister are planning on launching a war in the Middle East, but—behind the scenes—government officials and advisers are either promoting the war or are trying to prevent it.
