Following the UK minister, the US President and their entourage while in the run-up to war, In the Loop mercilessly portrays the ignorance of the political party leaders in this fast-paced, sharp-tongued comedy. At the post-screening talk, director and co-writer Armando Iannucci narrates a hilarious story about how he entered the State Department without any official ID and explains why he deliberately claimed solely British funds for this British comedy to be made.
