 UK 2009 35 mm 106 Minutes In English Director: Armando Iannucci Screenplay: Jesse Armstrong, Simon Blackwell, Armando Iannucci, Tony Roche Producers: Kevin Loader, Adam Tandy, David M. Thomson Principal Cast: Peter Capaldi, Mimi Kennedy, Tom Hollander, Gina McKee, James Gandolfini, Anna Chlumsky Print Courtesy: IFC Films In the Loop is a smart comedy and Sundance Film Festival hit from the acclaimed team who created the award-winning BBC TV comedy series “Alan Partridge” and “The Thick of It.” The film is drawing instant comparisons to some of the great political and absurdist comedies such as Doctor Strangelove, Wag the Dog, Thank You for Smoking and Monty Python. With razor-sharp, truly laugh-out-loud dialogue, the film pokes fun at the absurdity and ineptitude of our highest leaders. With everyone looking out for number one, and the fate of the free world at stake (but apparently incidental), the hilarious ensemble cast of characters bumbles its way through Machiavellian political dealings, across continents, and toward comic resolutions that are unforeseeable. “Cynical, aggressive and volcanically profane... features a script that crafts its scabrous insults with the same meticulous care and creativity employed by Michelangelo during the painting of the Sistine Chapel”—Wendy Ide, The Times.
