IN THE LOOP, 2008, IFC Films, 106 min. Director/writer Armando Iannucci and writer Tony Roche will appear in person at the Sunday, February 14, 4 PM screening for q & a. Oscar Nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay, also known as the "most vulgar script to be nominated for an Academy Award."
"See if this sounds familiar: A U.S. president is pushing for a war in the Middle East, going for a U.N. resolution though there's no reliable intelligence to back him up. And the Brits are staying carefully neutral, to give their prime minister room to maneuver. Been there, seen that, you say? Not like this, you haven't. In the blistering British political satire In the Loop, bureaucratic bungling in the run-up to war is played for scabrous laughs, not a few of which will be pained laughs of recognition." - Bob Mondello, All Things Considered (In the Loop: Wartime Fever As Screwball Tragedy)
"...a sharply written, fast-talking, almost dementedly articulate satire on modern statecraft..." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
