Nikita Mikhalkov's Birthday

On October 21, the outstanding Soviet and Russian film director Nikita Sergeevich Mikhalkov celebrates his birthday.

Burnt by the Sun. 1994. Movie's Rating - 8,712. 241st Rank in the Golden Thousand.

By the age of 74, Nikita Mikhalkov had shot 16 full-length feature films. 7 of them are included in the Golden Thousand FilmGourmand.

An Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano. 1976. Movie's Rating - 8,380. 378th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

Most of Nikita Mikhalkov's film masterpieces were created several decades ago. Not that, for some reason, Nikita Sergeevich stopped making films (as Georgiy Daneliya did in his time). It's just that the films of the last decades do not reach the level of his paintings, created during the years of Soviet power and in the early 90s.

Friend Among Strangers, Stranger Among Friends. 1974. Movie's Rating - 8,035. 664th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

Perhaps the reason is that Nikita Sergeevich is extremely carried away by journalism, and there is simply no time left to create a good movie. Or maybe the years just take their toll.

12. 2007. Movie's Rating - 8,028. 679th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

Based on the achievements mentioned above, Nikita Mikhalkov is included in the list of 100 greatest world film directors compiled by FilmGourmand.

Five Evenings. 1978. Movie's Rating - 7,995. 719th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

Nikita Mikhalkov is the only surviving Russian-speaking film director included in the list of 100 greatest world film directors compiled by FilmGourmand. In total, there are 18 Russian-language directors on this list.

Family Relations (Relatives, Kinfolk). 1981. Movie's Rating - 7,920. 840th Rank in the Golden Thousand.

The Barber of Siberia. 1998. Movie's Rating - 7,882. 871st Rank in the Golden Thousand.
