Andrey Konchalovskiy Net Worth

Andrey Konchalovskiy is a Russian theatre and film director born on August 20, 1937. He initially planned to pursue a career in music, but his love for cinema outweighed and he entered VGIK-the major state film school. There he met Andrei Tarkovsky and collaborated on Ivanovo detstvo (1962) and _Andrei Rublev_. His feature debut Pervyy uchitel (1965) was based on a book by Chingiz Aitmatov and his next film Istoriya Asi Klyachinoy, kotoraya lyubila, da ne vyshla zamuzh (1966) was not released until a decade later due to censorship. His powerful Dyadya Vanya (1971) from the play by 'Anton Chekhov_ is regarded as one of the best films in the Russian language ever. His international career began with the acclaimed Sibiriada (1979) and he went on to make English language films such as Maria's Lovers (1984), Runaway Train (1985), Duet for One (1986) and Homer and Eddie (1989). In the early 1990s he returned to Russia and directed several theatre productions and his Russian-French co-production Dom durakov (2002) won an honor at the 2002 Venice Film Festival. His last feature film Belye nochi pochtalona Alekseya Tryapitsyna (2014) won the 'Best Director' award at the 'Venice International Film Festival' in 2014.

1964

His first full-length feature, The First Teacher (1964), was favourably received in the Soviet Union and screened by numerous film festivals abroad. His second film, Asya Klyachina's Story (1967), was suppressed by Soviet authorities. When issued twenty years later, it was acclaimed as his masterpiece. Thereupon, Konchalovsky filmed adaptations of Ivan Turgenev's A Nest of Gentle Folk (1969) and Chekhov's Uncle Vanya (1970), with Innokenty Smoktunovsky in the title role.

His third wife was Viviane Godet, with whom he has a daughter, Alexandra Mikhalkova, born October 6, 1971. His fourth wife is Irina Ivanova, with whom he has two daughters: Nathalia and Elena. His fifth wife is Russian Actress Julia Vysotskaya; they have been married since 1998 and have two children: Masha (1999) and Piotr (2003).

1971

His film The Postman's White Nights won the Silver Lion at the 71st Venice International Film Festival.

1979

In 1979 he was a member of the jury at the 11th Moscow International Film Festival. His epic Siberiade upon its 1979 release was favourably received at Cannes and made possible his move to the United States in 1980.

1984

His most popular Hollywood releases are Maria's Lovers (1984), Runaway Train (1985), based on a script by Japanese Director Akira Kurosawa, and Tango & Cash (1989), starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell. In the 1990s, Konchalovsky returned to Russia, although he occasionally produced historical films for U.S. television, such as his adaption of The Odyssey (1997) and the award-winning remake, The Lion in Winter (2003).

2003

Konchalovsky's full-length feature, House of Fools (2003), with a cameo role by Bryan Adams as himself, set in a Chechen psychiatric asylum during the war, won him a Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

His film, The Nutcracker in 3D had its American release on November 24, 2010 and premiered in Estonia and Russia on January 1, 2011. The film had a reported $90,000,000 budget and brought in a total of $65,944 in its U.S opening weekend. The film was also critically derided, with Roger Ebert stating in his review of the film, "From what dark night of the soul emerged the wretched idea for 'The Nutcracker in 3D?' Who considered it even remotely a plausible idea for a movie?"

2016

In 2016 Paradise directed by him won the Silver Lion at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival. It was selected as the Russian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards.
