More amazing Soviet animation!

The Firing Range, weird and really cool anti-war cartoon from the late 70s:

From the same director, (Anatoly Petrov), Heracles at Admetus

Him again, the nightmare fodder for several generations of Russian children, Oblivious Giovanni (starts at 1:34)

Supremely creepy and atmospheric short, based on a Ray Bradbury story "There will be soft rains":

The Passage, a stunning sci-fi trip from 1988 - alas, without subs. Some art for this movie was provided by infamous mathematician and crazy rogue historian Anatoly Fomenko :tinfoil:.

Heist ... style - amazing cartoon parodying crime movies in four parts: Heist American Style, Heist French Style, Heist Italian Style, Heist Russian Style. Stereotypes ahoy!

And my absolute favorite, Film, Film, Film! from 1968, a movie industry satire by Fyodor Hitruk

2005 Master and Margarita is pretty bad, unfortunately. It is worth watching for amazing Voland and Pontius Pilate, but the production design is atrociously cheap, the music is obnoxious and the director decided to hammer down STALIN BAD SOVIET BAD with some documentary footage, which clashes with the subtleties in the novel. Same director did Bulgakov's "Heart of a Dog" in the 80s, a nearly perfect adaptation and an amazing movie.
