I bought this DVD as a birthday present for my best friend, and he just loved it. I have not seen this movie yet, but from what he told me, he laughed his butt off throughout the movie.

Watch the interview with the director at the end. Taken together, this is one of the films that struck me both on my ironic funny bone and also informationally and emotionally. Humor and tragedy do go together -- to protect us from the ravaging impact of tragedy. The black irony in Solzhenitsyn's 'The Gulag Archipelago' allowed me to keep reading accounts of absolute horror. Uncle Saddam keeps me laughing and helps me not to go into the depths of despondency, but it sends its message across nonetheless! ... Read More
