Saddam Hussein gets the treatment usually reserved for celebrities: this film frames his life and rule as a mock episode of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," using archival footage of palaces, statues, and staged public appearances to walk through the cult of personality built around him. Comedian Scott Thompson, of Kids in the Hall, narrates in the genre's chipper, gossipy voice, while Wallace Langham voices Hussein himself, reading his own propaganda and private vanities back at the audience. Director Joel Soler pairs that satirical narration against footage of the Gulf War, the Kurdish repression, and the machinery of a dictatorship that jails and executes dissenters, so the joke keeps colliding with the record. The film never lets the parody soften what it shows: the same clips that make Hussein look absurd, the gold fixtures, the personality cult, the self-produced heroic imagery, are also the evidence of how he controlled Iraq for decades. It plays as both a comedy routine and a genuine profile of authoritarian image-making, with the humor working as a way into material that a straight biography might not get past.
