Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

"With the Cuban Missile Crisis still fresh in memory and the paranoia of the Cold War at its peak, Stanley Kubrick dared to pose a hypothetical scenario: what would happen if the worst person possible had control over the worst weapon ever invented by humankind? The result is a masterful marathon of black humor that achieves something that would seem impossible: making us laugh at the scenario of our own nuclear war extinction. 'Dr. Insólito' (better known as 'Dr. Strangelove', its original title) is a satire set during the Cold War, but it is chillingly relevant even today. With performances worthy of a lecture hall (the brilliant Peter Sellers plays three roles in the movie and you'd hardly notice), this is another gem in Kubrick's perfect filmography, which has tackled war more than once from different angles, but never with such originality as in this one."
