Criticism

Recently, the same Bortko presented the audience with his new Bulgakov’s masterpiece - “The Master and Margarita”. In fact, the Bortko phenomenon is a curiosity of the new Russian mentality. The director himself is a sturdy "pro" of the Hollywood type, good at feeling the situation, and an early-formed anti-communist (in the 1970s he even tried to flee "this country"). He made “a dog’s heart” in the wake of the “Bulgakov’s boom”, and in the early 2000s, when “education”, as Trotsky put it, “nurtured cultures,” made him a cold, elementary-illustrative “Idiot” ^[35] .

Alexander Serebryakov

Бывает, человек жил-жил, да помер — изжил себя. А вместо него совсем другой теперь живёт. Тот вино с друзьями любил, этот кефир в одиночестве пьёт. Тот с Кормильцевым песни писал, этот у Прилепина в передаче фон наполняет. Тот «Собачье сердце» снял, а этот требует Сталина вернуть. И все вокруг думают, что тот ещё жив, и удивляются, обнаруживая такое несходство. А ничего удивительного — просто тот умер, и кто-то его тело донашивает, а все думают, что он жив.

Александр Феденко

Почему вдруг режиссёр Бортко заговорил голосом Шарикова с трибуны ГД<…> И вот для всех это несоответствие и страшный контраст между тем, что сделал Бортко, фильм «Собачье сердце», все остальные его кино никому не известны. И его поведением и дикостью его взглядов, конечно, является загадкой. Но ларчик, как всегда, просто открывается. Давайте посмотрим, что в 1976 году произошло в Италии. В Италии режиссёр Альберто Латтуада с Максом фон Сюдовым в главной роли снял фильм « Собачье сердце ». Этот фильм полностью до мельчайших деталей был скопирован и просто да, очень повезло, конечно, с сочнейшим Евстигнеевым и великолепным Шариковым. В итальянском фильме чуть-чуть Шариков попроще. Макс фон Сюдов хотя и огромный актёр, но всё-таки он другого типа, нежели Евстигнеев. Но, тем не менее, все мизансцены, все смыслы, всё уже было подготовлено. И поэтому фильм «Собачье сердце» является просто обычным плагиатом. И это вам ответ на вечную загадку<…> Назовите этот плагиат римейком. Если вам будет проще. Но для начала, прежде чем многозначительно утробным голосом заявлять о том, что я загнул, посмотрите внимательно фильм Латтуады. ^[36] .
