The Master and Margarita (2024) with English subtitles

The narrative gets really restructured from the original novel— it treats all the supernatural scenes as a story-within the story, which… is not the choice I’d’ve made, but it’s still all beautifully filmed and acted, and I’m glad I watched it.

Behemoth and the rest of Wolland’s entourage get their screentime in the 2005 miniseries, which has cheesy greenscreen fx but is also the most faithful adaptation I’ve ever seen done of anything; and of course in the novel itself.

I've just started reading the book - and finding it hard to wrap my head around a film version of it.

That sounds from the outside like collapsing Bulgakov explicitly into the Master. I heard good things about this film when it was coming into existence; I'm glad you liked it. (I do slightly judge all adaptations on their Korovyev.)

Ah, well, I barely have time to watch movies, let alone interviews, but thank you for the link to the movie!
