The director of a highly controversial film that’s accused of criticising the regime in Russia has spoken to FRANCE 24 about the incredible success of the film and the threats he has faced because of it. "The Master and Margarita" was filmed before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, but once released after the invasion it took on a new meaning. It has now become one of the highest grossing films ever in Russia. Its director Mikhaïl Lockshin, who is also highly critical of the war in Ukraine, spoke to us in Perspective.
