Now, the one good thing about facebook - and - not a good thing particularly, it just means I'm too much there. But there was a clip with an AI narration, interesting, and I recognized the plot points as being from "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov.
A favourite book of mine.
SO, a fair bit of digging and I found a place to download the movie - the 2024 edition, in Russian/German and searched a dozen other sites and tried a variety of subtitles before I found one that was any good and synced with the movie.
And watched it, of course. I've not had a lot of luck with movies lately, tried some early 2000's horror, was pretty lame, bailed on it, another horror - "Late Night with the Devil" - which begins with an annoying narrator introducing the plot, the star, and continuing for 10 minutes, 12 minutes, and I'm still not into the movie and he's still narrating the back-story and I just give up, it's nonsense...
So this was a treat. Adapting that novel for the screen - well, not an easy chore, but well done. A bit heavy on the CGI (not a fan of the CGI landscapes), but otherwise, acting, theme, atmosphere - all relatively close to the source and true to the author.
And since I had to go to great lengths to find a copy and working subtitles I've saved you the effort by uploading them to "WeShare"; a file hosting site, the links are good for about 27 days from today.

Note, Woland is speaking in German to the Master, hence the annoying Russian Voiceover. And - Bulgakov wrote in the Russia of the 30's, but in regards to the political motifs the same is happening here...
