Har äntligen (tror jag[:I]) fått ordning på textningen till den ryska TV-serien av 'Mästaren & Margarita' (efter boken av Michail Bulgakov). Om allt klaffar ska jag se den första delen ikväll.[^]

Vart hittar man den?
Det är min favoritbok och jag skulle gärna se den ryska TV-versionen!

Aha!
Fast med den här recensionen tror jag att jag stannar vid boken:
(Som förresten har en ny svensk utgåva nu, äntligen! Tyvärr bara i pocket!)
<i>"First and foremost, the director (Bortko) misinterpreted Bulgakov. And I don't buy this matter-of-interpretation argument here. If a composer wrote his piece to be played forte, you can't play it piano. If a writer wrote his novel with humor, you should not be crying over it. Before the film, I have never suspected that Bulgakov's novels can be interpreted as "sad." His humor and satire were legendary. When you read his contemporaries, you see something like, "Bulgakov read from his new novel. Everyone laughed." It applies to most of his novels (his first novel, "The White Guard" is the only exception). One's supposed to laugh while reading Bulgakov. Bortko did the opposite in both his "Heart of a Dog" and "Master and Margarita" - both films are depressing.
Furthermore, his selection of actors is horrible. Woland must be a man "a little over forty," not 71 (Basilashvili). Kirill Lavrov (80 at the time) who plays Pontius Pilate, sure looks like an 80-year old. "...with the shuffling gait of a cavalryman... there came out ... the procurator of Judea, Pontius Pilate." Note, not the shuffling gait of a social security recipient, but a cavalryman, a big difference. Koroviev is horrible. Instead of a young, dynamic, energetic jester, Abdulov, 52, plays a stupid, grandiloquent jerk.
The costumes and the set are cheap and bad. Just look at Margarita's attire at the ball - a hybrid of a chastity belt and Amazon's armor. And the Cat!!! An actor wearing a cat's mask! That's 21st century cinema alright!
Lots of scenes omotted. And lots of director's own (to compensate for the omitted ones?) The most ridiculous is the lecture at the end. Just wondering where did this strange military man resembling Beria come from? Besides, too much of NKVD (the forerunner of the KGB) officers in full uniform. Bulgakov never even uses this acronym in his novel; it's always a hint, always implied. Here - "At around four o'clock on that hot day, a big company of men in civilian clothes got out of three cars a short distance from no.502-bis on Sadovaya Street."
So is it really "respectful, thoughtful and as close to the spirit of the greatest Russian novel of the last century as possible?"
Those are just a few blunders to mention. I don't remember all the lapses, and I don't want to watch it again just for that purpose."
