Biography
Sergei Bodrov was born in 1948, in Khabarovsk, Soviet Union (now
Russia). Following his 1974 graduation from Russia’s premiere film
school, VGIK, Bodrov spent three years as a special correspondent
for Krokodil Magazine. He made his first foray into film direction
in 1984 with Sweet Dreams in the Grass which he co-helmed with Amanbe
Alpiev. In 1996, Bodrov won international acclaim with his drama
Prisoner of the Mountains, the tragic tale of two Russian soldiers
held captive in a remote Caucasian village. The drama earned Oscar
and Golden Globe nominations for Best Foreign Film, several Nika
awards, and the Best Film Prize at the San Diego Film Festival.
