Michael Lockshin

We are looking at the reality of the machine.

Let's start with Michael Lockshin's film adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov's masterpiece, The Master and Margarita.

The history of this book is as wild as the story itself.

Bulgakov wrote this in Moscow between the late 1920s and his death in 1940.

Because his films often work in the same way, at least the four films that I have seen from him.

When it comes to the Russian TV series, I did watch it long ago and it's very close to the book basically I think it's like 99% of the words on screen are probably in the book and probably 99% of the book will be on screen so it's very close to the book But I think that this film is more interesting because here Michael Lockshin reimagines how the book would look like, not how it is.

This becomes an interpretation, not just the adaptation.

I think it's...

And then suddenly we are in this world that looks highly artificial, even though all of these scenes are... creations of this author's fantasy or his writings, at least in my interpretation.

So, yeah.

I recently read a review of this film by a film critic that said that he would have probably wanted Michael Lockshin to make more of a film like Zack Snyder would make this film.

And
