Description
In 1986, director Leonid Menaker used Mikhail Bulgakov's play Pushkin: The Last Days as the screenplay for the film The Last Road.
When Bulgakov wrote the play in 1935, his writing was repeatedly rejected by the Glavrepertkom (the theatre censor). Bulgakov's depiction of the police state under Tsarist Russia was seen as a threat to Joseph Stalin's regime. In Molière, another play Bulgakov wrote around the same time, he had similarly depicted French society under Louis XIV. When the latter play was completely banned in 1936, theatres no longer dared to stage Bulgakov's works, and all promised contracts for Pushkin. The Last Days productions were canceled one by one.
The film comes with a brochure that provides a detailed explanation of the film's context. It also includes an introduction to the various characters, along with an explanation of some of the expressions used in the film that were typical of the time period in which the story is set.
