“Deliciously funny and graphically gory.”
—Time Out London
In 1917, young medic Mikhail (Bichevin) arrives at a remote rural village to begin his practice—but quickly succumbs to a crippling morphine addiction, as the Bolshevik Revolution rages on in the background. Based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s short story collection A Country Doctor's Notebook, Morphia is Balabanov’s hellish, savagely funny vision of societal and personal breakdown rendered in remarkable period detail.
