mention and the commentary. Truly, the older Doc and Sharikov are very, very good actors, quite unmatched in gravitas by this generation of "ironic" American actors.
Bulgy isn't my cup of tea, The Master and Margarita I read but found too fantastic, too outlandish. That said, the first--- I'd guess--- twenty or thirty pages with that railway accident I found incredibly good. The conceits of Bulgy are too strong, too crazy to contain my interest for very long. It's not him, per se: I can't make it through the Central and S. American similar authors such as Cortazar and Marquez.
I couldn't tell the exact sequence nor link them so my viewing experience wasn't totally pleasurable, nor is my computer screen very large (20" Apple). Still, I saw enough and clearly want to find a dvd to watch in entirety and in proper sequence.
At this moment it occurred to me that perhaps if I think of Bulgy as a a mix of Monty Python and Bunuel I'll appreciate it more. Yes, that may be the key.
