Press
“…Tackling such a dense work and adapting it for the screen was a difficult undertaking. Alexandre Petrovic has masterfully accomplished it. Blending the everyday with the fantastical is no easy feat, but with him, we’re in it like fish to water.
…Petrovic’s film exists. It is definitely there, and a little bit there. Strong, powerful, dazzling in its mastery, clarity, irony, and tenderness. It is of a rare beauty and a force of testimony that are also an accusation. …A very high-class film worthy of the novel that inspired it.”
Michel Duran, Le Canard Enchaîné.
Reviews
“Some may believe in the existence of the devil. Others, if they wish, may say that the Master, Bulgakov, and I simply dreamed of him. I cannot say what the Master and Bulgakov would have said, but I am more inclined to believe in the devil than not.”
Aleksandar Petrović.
