The verdict
There are not yet enough audience votes to give this a reliable score. It is not currently playing in Hong Kong cinemas. 131 minutes.
What to expect
This National Theatre Live recording runs 131 minutes and screens in selected Hong Kong cinemas from 30 August 2026. No certificate is listed, so check with the venue. Steve Coogan plays four roles in the stage adaptation of Kubrick’s 1964 black comedy, and the script — by Armando Iannucci and Sean Foley — threads contemporary politics through the original Cold War absurdity. It is a filmed play, not a movie, so the camera work is functional rather than cinematic. The humour is fast, verbal, and built on sustained farce; anyone who finds political satire exhausting should know the tone never lets up.
