CineCulture, together with Filmworks, presents:

October 9: In The Loop (2009). With razor-sharp, truly laugh-out-loud dialogue, British director Armando Iannucci 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.
