3 | Nikita Sergeyevich Mikhalkov (born 21 October 1945 in Moscow, Russia) is a Russian director and actor, and head of the Cinematographers' Union. His family has a tradition of art, as his father wrote children's books and the lyrics to the Soviet and Russian anthems, his mother was a poetess descended from artists, and his brother Creator/AndreiKonchalovsky is an accomplished film director in his own right. |

5 | Mikhalkov studied acting at the Moscow Art Theater and the Vakhtangov Theater, and later studied film at VGIK, where he met future celebrity director Creator/AndreiTarkovsky. Since then, his films have become famous at home and abroad. Unlike Tarkovsky, or his brother Creator/AndreiKonchalovsky, Mikhalkov has made more conventional, crowd-pleasing films, and has avoided auteur projects. On the one hand, many of his films have been at the top of Russian box-office history. On the other hand, he has been accused of being too conservative and not provocative enough. |
