Going through the latest version - a 12 part mini-series... so far enough things to love about this one.Would really love to get the 1994 version with a different cast, must be wonderful! Don't know where to find it yet.
Found out there was also a 1972 Italian/Yugoslavian film with Ugo Tognazzi, that did not get much recognition.
The work (sorry AuPh... probably not a "significant literary work" by your standards...) is incredibly deep and hard to put in a movie, making it so much more interesting to watch.
No idea whether it will be available with the subs... sorry...

A wonderful book, but how, - FOR DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!! - is it possible to make a film of it?A funny little story, which seems me as deep an as weirdly as the book, happened to me some years ago: I wanted to visit the Bulgakov Museum in Kyiv Andreijevsky Spusk. When going in, I was asked by the museum attendant, a kind of female dragon: “Did you read “The White Guard”?” “N-no, o-only The Master and Margartita and Heart of a Dog,” I answered, shyly enough. “So you have to go reading The White Guard first, and afterwards you may return again”, she said, pushing me resolutely out of the door.
There I stood …………. and only a huge black tomcat was grinning to me from the corner …..
There are some good moments in the film, but too early to tell - we are on the 5th episode.That was a funny story indeed... I have never been such a great fan of the White Guard.
If you ever get a chance, take a look at the Heart of a Dog - the film, made by the same director Vladimir Bortko who also did the Idiot and the Master... if you loved the book, you will find the film not just an extention of it, but an incredibly good work in its own right, with simply fantastic performances... I can't recommend it too hightly.
