The Master and Margarita

Personally, I didn't evaluate the sets and other aspects of the film... since it's a series, it was made according to the laws of series, with all the consequences, but I think the director managed to convey the main idea of Bulgakov. Of course, Bulgakov is much broader and more voluminous than the film, but this breadth creates some kind of de-concentration, a scattering of ideas, everything is very strongly and densely encoded. Moreover, in my opinion, the satirical element is very strongly represented in the novel. I have the impression that Bulgakov simply felt deeply about all the Soviet bravado, primitivism, and ignorance in elementary matters, covered by blatant ideological propaganda. Bulgakov openly and heartily laughs at the Soviet system, and this, on the one hand, makes the novel accessible to everyone, and on the other hand, completely negates the deep meaning of the idea itself. By the way, it is a very common opinion that Bulgakov largely took the idea of the novel from Valery Bryusov's "The Fiery Angel." Those who have read it will probably agree with this, but in Bryusov, it is a serious and complex treatise on the soul, while in Bulgakov, it is more of a "popular" pamphlet. Here, after reading Bryusov, there are no questions about the meaning and idea. Everything is concrete and consistent there. Bulgakov, on the other hand, is very scattered, and it is very difficult to gather the quintessence of the idea from him, although Bulgakov is much more interesting to read. Here, as they say, it's a matter of taste
