    ...Heart of a Dog.

    In that book Bulgakov pulled all the stops, and showed himself as world class master of satire... it is one of the most brilliant works of the Russian 20th century literature, and the film does that work justice with both directing and acting.
    
    Take my word for it - that movie is special.
    
    What... me paying ten bucks???

      DVD rental program.
      BTW, I just got "Satantango" and "Damnation" from my public library. After "Werckmeister Harmonies," I just have a Tarr frame of mind and, though I tried to watch Kubrick's, "Lolita," yesterday, it just seemed too.... mannered. Back to grey Hungary, for me.
