i know the book by heart and and this mini series be incredibly close and it practically word for word while they have omit several small non essential scene and make a couple beautiful and logical addition and and otherwise change perhaps a dozen word or so . almost all the scene be exactly a i have always imagine them while cast be incredible ( except for the awful and miserable pilate regret of a small and cowardly man be never as tragic a that of a strong man ) . joshua be beyond word see . him give you shiver and never before have there be such a portrayal of jesus in cinema . woland be breathtaking and down to the voice . the final scene of woland contemplate the city from above be like a goya painting .
