Andrei Konchalovsky, born 1937 as Andrei Sergeyevich Mikhalkov, is a Russian film writer and director, brother of Nikita Mikhalkov and friend of Andrei Tarkovsky. His films were successful, but his liberal attitudes got him into trouble with Soviet authorities, so he eventually moved to the United States, where he continued to direct successful films.

Filmography (selected):

The First Teacher (1964) was his first feature film.
Andrei Rublev (1966, dir. Andrei Tarkovsky): Konchalovsky was one of the writers on Tarkovsky's first big critical hit.
The Story Of Asya Klyachina (1967) got him into trouble with Goskino for its depressing, touchy material.
A Nest Of Gentle Folk (1969) based on the book by Ivan Turgenev.
Uncle Vanya (1970) based on the story of the same name.
Siberiade (1979) was an epic starring Nikita Mikhalkov, and a big hit at Cannes. Its success paid for his move to America.
Maria's Lovers (1984)
Runaway Train (1985) remains one of his most famous films from his American period, starring Jon Voight.
Tango and Cash (1989) is one of his other famous Hollywood films, starring Sylvester Stallone and Kurt Russell.
The Inner Circle (1991)
The Odyssey (1997)
House Of Fools (2003 adaptation)
The Lion in Winter (2003 remake)
The Nutcracker in 3D (2010)
