Short description
Moscow, 1930s. A prominent writer's works are suddenly censored by the Soviet state and the premiere of his theatrical play about Pontius Pilate is canceled. He's kicked out of the Soviet Writer's Union, and quickly turns into an outcast with no means to survive. Inspired by Margarita - his lover, he begins working on a new novel in which all the characters are satirically reinterpreted from his life. The novel's central character is Woland - a mystical dark force who visits Moscow to revenge all those who caused the writer's downfall. As the Master sinks himself deeper and deeper into his novel, adding himself and Margarita as characters, he gradually stops noticing as the border between reality and his imagination fades away.
What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, the project's title was to be the same as the title of Mikhail Bulgakov's novel of the same name. Later, the producers decided to call the film 'Voland,' but later abandoned this and returned to the original idea. Nikolai Lebedev, who had begun work on the film, focused on other projects, and Mikhail Lokshin took the director’s chair.
- In 2018, the film was included in the list of film projects that received state support from the Cinema Fund. At that time, it was reported that the film's budget was 800 million rubles. Filming began in July 2021 and lasted until October 2021 in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Croatia (foreign filming was initially planned for Malta).
