| User ReviewCharles BFrom the election of the Bolshevik to Stalin's death, this movie follows the life of Stalin and the cast of politicians around him. It is not concerned with politics but the storytelling and essential events. An awesome depiction of a brutally cold yet charismatic Stalin by Duvall. |
