1930-talets Moskva. En berömd författare censureras av den sovjetiska staten: hans roman förbjuds och premiären av hans nya pjäs om Pontius Pilatus ställs plötsligt in. Inom några dagar blir han en paria. Drabbad av förtvivlan börjar han skriva en ny roman - en djärv satir där djävulen, Woland, anländer till Moskva för att utkräva surrealistisk och poetisk hämnd på dem som är ansvariga för författarens fall. Även om han vet att detta verk aldrig kan publiceras i Sovjetunionen, uppmuntrar hans musa Margarita honom att skriva det ändå, oavsett konsekvenserna. Filmen väver samman Bulgakovs roman med hans egen biografi och skapar en mångbottnad berättelse som utspelar sig i tre parallella tidslinjer: det halvrealistiska Moskva på 1930-talet, det fantastiska framtids-Moskva i Mästarens roman och Jerusalem år 33 e.Kr. The Master and Margarita is a bold literary adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakovs novel, blending satire, fantasy, and political allegory in Stalin-era Moscow. Directed by Michael Lockshin, the film interweaves a tragic love story with surreal episodes involving the Devil and his entourage. Grounded in historical repression yet rich in fantastical imagery, it explores art, power, faith, and resistance through a distinctly Eastern European lens. Från IMDB: A writers novel is banned and play canceled. He then conceives a satirical novel where a devil-like character metaphorically revenges those responsible. Knowing it cannot be published, his muse Margarita pushes him to write it anyway.
