Well, from the book I am reading at the moment, "Communism: A brief History" by Richard Pipes, Stalin had a liking for comedy films.

On a more serious note, I've seen good book reviews about Russian Culture "Natasha's Dance" by Figes(?). You could try this as an intro to its historical context.

Have a look at Ivan the terrible Parts I & II to see how much political commentry could be made at the time.

Part III wasn't made 'cos Stalin recognised who Ivan was...
