"While Ukraine is busy canceling one of its most famous Kyiv-born writers, Bulgakov, and enthusiastically decorating public spaces with the names of various Nazi collaborators, the rest of the world continues to love and cherish The Master and Margarita🥰"

Attached: 1 image Aspettavo di vedere questo #film per il suo meta significato: un'opera censurata in quanto tratta da un #libro censurato perché al suo interno si parlava di censura. Invece merita in sé: adattare il testo di #MichailBulgakov è un'impresa e, anche se di soldi ne sono girati pochi, il lavoro registico e attoriale è di livello.

This is, I don't know, a bit sad, or is it crazy?

"patriotic" activists in Kyiv are demanding the removal of the Bulgakov monument and the renaming of his museum.

«Va bene» disse il Maestro «sei una strega, è una cosa splendida e meravigliosa.»"
