Rather than start a new thread, I'll just stick this here since it's a TV program. I'm working my way through "Master and Margarita" and I had a couple questions:
1. What's with the coloring of the series -- is it something symbolic that I'm not getting or will they explain it?
2. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but when Christ was crucified, they simply tied his arms to the cross, rather than actually piercing them. What's up with this? Does Orthodox tradition hold that they weren't pierced, or is it lazy filmmaking?
3. And in the same vain, why is it Matfey who is around Christ at the Crucifixion, and not Peter?
