"Heart of a Dog" adapts Mikhail Bulgakov’s renowned novella, transporting audiences to 1920s Moscow. The narrative follows Sharik, an unkempt stray dog who undergoes a radical transformation into a man, Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov, thanks to the ambitious Professor Preobrazhensky. This metamorphosis serves as a biting commentary on the societal upheavals of early Soviet life, exploring themes of class conflict, human nature, and the dangers of extreme change. Celebrated for its clever satire and powerful performances, the film captures the essence of Bulgakov’s work while delivering a poignant allegory.
