"The Master and Margarita" is an adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s classic satire of Stalinist-era Soviet dictatorship. Released in Russia in January 2024, the film has drawn large audiences and been attacked by pro-Putin Russian nationalist propagandists, who declared the film anti-regime and called for a criminal investigation into director Michael Lockshin. The film is not yet commercially available outside Russia, but Lockshin will offer a private screening for the Brandeis and Harvard communities. Harvard ID is required for admission. Register here.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with Lockshin.
