that became sensations at international film festivals? Andrey Zviagintsev is a star of contemporary film. He has won numerous awards: Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay, César Award for Best Foreign Film, Golden Lion in Venice, Venice Film Festival SIGNIS Award, Cannes Jury Prize, Grand-Prix at the IFF van Vlaanderen-Gent, Golden Globe Award in Hollywood, Russian NIKA Award for Best Film and for Best Director, three Golden Eagle Awards for Best Director (Russia). He is a jury member of the 71st Cannes Film Festival, and an Oscar nominee. What is the secret of his meteoric rise to stardom? This film was made simultaneously with Andrey Zviagintsev’s “Loveless”, and presents an inside scoop. This documentary shows what goes into Zviagintsev’s success: the painstaking work and the profound personal drama that fill the director’s work days. The film also gives a peek inside the director’s process: we see from what tiny details and moving parts Zviagintsev’s intricate mosaic is assembled, as we see the life of the hero, and possibly the lack of love and meaning in his life.
