I initially started reading Master and Margarita for the literary value and because it's considered to be a great work of literature, but this cat (Behemoth) is the main reason that I'm still reading this book.

I FINALLY finished reading Master and Margarita.

I have no words to describe just how long it took me to finish reading this one single book, but now that I did I can finally cross it out on my main reading list after it has been waiting there ever since the pandemic.

That's why I decided to finally get around watching the most recent Master and Margarita movie and honestly? Not bad.

Plotwise I think they did great considering the amount of material that they had to fit into a 2hr 30min-ish movie.

The casting was spot-on, the German actor August Diehl played Woland/The Devil, which was really surprising as his Russian was really good.

Another pleasant surprise was that the actor who played Satan (Yuri Kolokolnikov, he was also in GoT!) in Doomsday/Конец света starred along as Koroviev, which really showed a new interesting side to his acting.

Music, costumes and especially the scenery was really good, my only slight disappointment was that Behemoth the cat got significantly less screen-time and that he wasn't as behemoth and chaotic as described (see below - I just think that the movie Behemoth doesn't really match the energy of the book Behemoth)

Nonetheless, it's a solid 8 from me, so I recommend checking out Мастер и Маргарита/ Master and Margarita!
