In The Loop (15)

Director: Armando Iannucci

Starring: Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander, Gina McKee, James Gandolfini

UK, 2009, 1 hour 46 minutes

This glorious sideswipe at international diplomacy sparkles with the same filthy humour, spoken by the same morally empty vessels that marked the brilliant TV series, The Thick of It. In the build up to a war in the Middle East, it follows the actions of an incompetent British minister who is a pawn in the games played by a foul-mouthed Scottish spin doctor and a Pentagon general opposed to the war. Spot-on political satire shot in documentary style, this is both insanely funny and a desperate cry for sanity, like Spinal Tap meets Dr Strangelove.
