The Three Lives of Boris

About This Movie

So, 'The Three Lives of Boris' is this striking documentary that really pulls you into the life of an amateur philologist who’s just trying to scream into the void about Bulgakov. It's raw, you know? The pacing feels almost erratic at times, reflecting the chaos of his existence—sleeping on trains, scraping by on a pension. The atmosphere is heavy, but there's a certain beauty in his determination. You see real life here, not some polished version. The practical effects are minimal, but it doesn’t need them; it’s all about Boris’ performances that capture both despair and hope. It’s a film that makes you think about passion versus reality in a world that often overlooks the unsung.
