"... the first worthy film adaptation of Bulgakov's novel [with] scaldingly relevant parallels to Putin's Russia." - The LA Times
“best commercial film ever shot in Putin’s Russia” - Anton Dolin (film critic)
In the sweeping cinematic adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s iconic tome “Master and Margarita” the year is 1930, and the bustling streets of Moscow serve as a backdrop to an artistic crucible. Here, a celebrated author finds himself ensnared by the iron teeth of Soviet censorship. His once – lauded novel, now a forbidden artifact, languishes under a ban, while his latest theatrical endeavor — a daring depiction of Pontius Pilate — has its premiere ruthlessly scrapped. Within the span of mere days, the writer is transformed from a beacon of literary prowess to a pariah cast adrift in the stormy seas of the USSR’s cultural regime. This 2024 film masterfully captures the descent from grace, encapsulating the stifling grip of censorship and the relentless spirit of creativity that dares to challenge it.
For weeks after the film's release in January 2024, director Michael Lockshin mostly avoided the press. The reason was simple: an army of online trolls and pro-Kremlin pundits wanted him arrested and did not like his anti-war views, or the film’s excoriation of totalitarianism, or that some of its estimated $17m (£13m) budget – one of Russia’s largest film budgets ever – came from the state-backed Russian Cinema Fund.
This film adaption of Bulgakov’s anti-censorship masterpiece became a box office hit in Russia against all odds.
