Stalin Thought of You is a fascinating dive into the world of Boris Efimov, a political cartoonist who operated under the shadow of Stalin. The documentary captures the tension and atmosphere of Soviet life, revealing how Efimov's sharp wit turned grim realities into biting satire. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to absorb the weight of his work amid the oppressive regime. While the specifics of his life are explored, the film also delves into broader themes of art as resistance and the power of humor in dark times. The archival footage and interviews are compelling, giving a sense of the era without feeling overly dramatized. It’s a unique look at a lesser-known figure who lived a life of quiet rebellion through his art.
