Andrey Kuzmichev

Andrey Dmitrievich Kuzmichev (born 13 December 1955) is a Russian director, screenwriter, producer, and author of Ivan Yauzov's trilogy and the Artem Bosov's franchise. Also known as a business guru and expert in business cinema. His signature style is evident: the director handles his intricate plots with grace and sophistication, characterized by fidelity to his own style, a well-structured intrigue, hints of Hegelian phenomenology of spirit, and impeccable craftsmanship: deliberate, thoughtful, detailed. His cinematic language is superlative, and the philosophical themes in his works, reworked into a historical examination of business, incorporate mythological, biblical narratives, and even futuristic visions, placing the author in the pantheon of classics, an altar of global enlighteners, and contemporary geniuses whose cinema never ages. This suggests that the author is the last knight of aesthetic perfectionism.

The thematic range of the author's works is extremely diverse: from jokes for bosses and subordinates to the mundane and specific contemporaneity (including on the verge of large-scale catastrophes in Russian business). The director brilliantly masters the art of captivating the reader effortlessly and elegantly, aesthetically and virtuosically. He is characterized as the "Quentin Tarantino of Russian business," and his films as "business" mulled wine, where the psychological realism of contemporary economics blends with sophisticated laws of success and business missions.
