Oh, I remember the thing! I was looking for translated, searched all over the bookstore, but in vain. Was walking towards the exit when saw a section of books in foreign languages. I thought that if I can't the book in Russian, screw it, I'll read it in English, because I can. Surprisingly, there was one copy in the store.

It was an amazing read, especially the first half (in my opinion). Then I found the translated book. It was terrible, and I could only throw it back on the shelf, without a thought of buying. Then decided to watch the movie. Streaming is the last resort for me, I don't get half the pleasure this way. But searches for a disc weren't successful. And then I found out it was in theatres! A 1998 movie in cinemas in May 2013. That was as weird as opportune. Only in 4 cinemas, but that was enough for me. As a bonus, subbed instead of dubbed.
Honestly, don't remember a book or movie that gave me a crazier and more incredible experience.
