So, 'Heart of a Dog' really is something else. It’s not just a comedy or a drama; it’s this unique blend with sci-fi elements that gives it an odd edge. The transformation of Sharik into a human is both fascinating and unsettling, really pushing the boundaries of ethics in science. The pacing has this almost surreal rhythm to it, balancing moments of genuine humor with darker undertones about identity and humanity. The practical effects, though dated now, really add to that raw atmosphere typical of Soviet cinema. And let’s not forget the performances—especially the lead—it’s like you can feel the struggle between beast and man. It’s a thought-provoking piece that stays with you long after the credits roll.
Interesting take on Bulgakov's novella. · The blend of humor and dark themes stands out. · Look for the practical effects in the transformation scenes.
