Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky's most recent film, The Nutcracker in 3D (2010), was a box office flop in the States. However, in the past Konchalovsky has also known great success, including the award winning House of Fools (2002) which took the 'Grand Jury Prize' at the Venice Film Festival.
As a film maker, Konchalovsky has certainly had a varied career, from working with Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell in Tango & Cash (1989), creating a TV adaptation Homer’s The Odyssey for HBO, and also directing numerous Russian language films, including the highly regarded Uncle Vanya (1970) and The First Teacher (1964), his debut feature made whilst he was still a student.
Last week, Cine-Vue travelled to Pushkin House in Holborn to ask Konchalovsky how he felt about the forthcoming Directorspective at London's Barbican Centre, who his influences were, and what he thought about living and working in Hollywood.
