Margarit i Margarita (1989)
on "Margarit and Margarita"
12 November 2005 - 6 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
A poignant story of teenage love and rebellion, Nikolai Volev's film pictures the corruption and moral decay in the late years of communist Bulgaria. "Margarit and Margarita" was banned immediately after it was screened by the authorities and released at the end of 1989 to large critical and box- office success. "Margarit and Margarita" constructs a bitter "fairy tale" that challenges political debates on the role of the individual in an oppressive society. Colored by references to local problems and processes, the film offers not only a genuine rendering of a collapsing regime but also a touching observation on the failure of human values and ideals.
