About
"Gallows humor meets frostbitten Russian medicine"
Based on Mikhail Bulgakov's semi-autobiographical stories, this dark British comedy follows a terrified, freshly graduated doctor exiled to a remote, freezing Russian village just after the revolution, utterly unprepared for the gruesome cases and isolation awaiting him. Daniel Radcliffe plays the panicking young doctor while Jon Hamm plays his older, jaded future self, who literally haunts him with commentary. It's short, surreal, and gleefully macabre, mixing slapstick, body horror, and bleak absurdity. Fast-paced and strange rather than cozy, it rewards a taste for gallows humor over gentle period drama.
