Dr. Strangelove does what so few comedies do today: it challenges us, provokes us, unsettles us while also making us laugh.
January 16, 2016
A slick satire of the cold war, and one that succeeds in brilliantly lampooning the hands that guide the world.

By a whopping margin, this is Kubrick's most radical film and greatest dramatic gamble.
