I loved the surrealist elements and the commentary on good and evil, love and hope and the absurdity of Soviet society. It’s a very important lesson to know not to take things too seriously while still acknowledging suffering. However, I will be honest and say I got bored with the Pontius Pilate plot and didn’t really care for it.
