Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Death of Stalin (Paramount)
For the release week of June 19th:
Garv’s Pick of the Week: The Death of Stalin [DVD / Paramount]: Armando Iannucci’s pitch black satire is my favorite film of the year. You can access my full review here. Unfortunately, Paramount is only releasing the film on DVD and Digital in the U.S. No Blu-ray is scheduled. However, if you have a region-free Blu-ray player, there is a Region-B Blu-ray available.
