NIKITA MIKHALKOV
PHOTOGRAPHED IN MOSCOW IN 1999
WHEN THE BARBER OF SIBERIA
WAS BEING PREMIERED
AND MIKHALKOV WAS
SAID TO BE THINKING OF RUNNING
FOR PRESIDENT
(He did not.)
BURNT BY THE SUN won an Oscar for filmmaker Mikhalkov in 1994. The sequel, BURNT BY THE SUN: THE CITADEL, has been nominated for the 2012 foreign-language film Oscar, igniting, it is said by Variety, "a storm of controversy" in the Russian film industry (on the grounds the movie was a critical and commercial flop).
It was suggested that Mikhalkov should withdraw the movie from consideration.
He did not.
