Dr. Strangelove

DateSunday, February 7, 2010 at 12:00PM

Release Year: 1964

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Review: Simply one of the best satires ever made.  There is not a single wasted scene, and everything hits squarely where it is supposed to.  It's both unsettling, and hilarious, the perfect mix for a political satire.  Kubrick is an incredible director, and letting him lead you down this twisted path toward world annihilation is fascinating.  Peter Sellers is the best he has ever been, making his characters not seem to over the top, but all fascinating and indistinguishable from one another.  'Dr. Stranglove' is endlessly quotable and watchable.  It goes beyond great and into iconic.  I think the 'biting satire' mold was cast from this Kubrick masterpiece.
Rating: 5/5
