Konchalovsky's brother is filmmaker [[Nikita Mikhalkov]]. Konchalovsky is frequently referred to as Andron, but as he stated several times, Andron was just a [[diminutive]] used by his grandfather and never was his official name; he prefers the name Andrei.<ref>[https://rg.ru/2017/06/12/andrej-konchalovskij-prava-cheloveka-nigde-ne-sobliudaiutsia.html Дело не в свободе, а в таланте]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.konchalovsky.ru/works/articles/konchalovsky_for_esquire/|title=Андрей Кончаловский: Правила жизни Андрея Кончаловского|website=www.konchalovsky.ru}}</ref>

==Career==
[[File:Andrei Konchalovsky at a press conference in Vienna, Austria in 2016.jpg|left|thumb|Konchalovsky at a press conference in Vienna, 2016.]]

Konchalovsky studied for ten years at the [[Moscow Conservatory]], preparing for a pianist's career. In 1960, however, he met [[Andrei Tarkovsky]], whom he collaborated with on ''[[Ivan's Childhood]]'' and ''[[Andrei Rublev (film)|Andrei Rublev]]''.

His first own full-length feature, ''[[The First Teacher]]'' (1964), was favourably received in the Soviet Union and screened by numerous film festivals abroad. His second film, ''[[The Story of Asya Klyachina|Asya Klyachina's Story]]'' (1967), was suppressed by Soviet authorities. When issued twenty years later, it was acclaimed as his masterpiece. Thereupon, Konchalovsky filmed adaptations of [[Ivan Turgenev|Ivan Turgenev's]] ''[[A Nest of Gentle Folk]]'' (1969) and [[Anton Chekhov|Chekhov's]] ''[[Uncle Vanya (1970 film)|Uncle Vanya]]'' (1970), with [[Innokenty Smoktunovsky]] in the title role.

In 1979 he was a member of the jury at the [[11th Moscow International Film Festival]].<ref name="Moscow1979">{{cite web|url=http://www.moscowfilmfestival.ru/miff34/eng/archives/?year=1979 |title=11th Moscow International Film Festival (1979) |access-date=14 January 2013 |work=MIFF |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140403102012/http://www.moscowfilmfestival.ru/miff34/eng/archives/?year=1979 |archive-date=3 April 2014 }}</ref> His epic ''[[Siberiade]]'' upon its 1979 release was favourably received at [[Cannes Film Festival|Cannes]], particularly for its scene featuring the binding and abuse of a Siberian Lynx, and made possible his move to the United States in 1980. 

His most popular [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]] releases are ''[[Maria's Lovers]]'' (1984), ''[[Runaway Train (film)|Runaway Train]]'' (1985), based on a script by Japanese director [[Akira Kurosawa]] (who had written it as an adaptation of Dostoevsky's "[[The House of the Dead (novel)|House of the Dead]]"<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=2020-12-21 |title="Dear Comrades!"

In 1985, [[Ned Tanen]] wanted to hire Konchalovsky to direct ''[[The Godfather Part III]]'', but the other executives at [[Paramount Pictures]] concluded the film could not be made without [[Francis Ford Coppola]] and [[Mario Puzo]]'s involvement.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Godfather Part III |url=https://catalog.afi.com/Film/57313-8-MILLIONWAYSTODIE?sid=1f372f0c-5c41-4bb7-aceb-1f511ca1337c&sr=15.708094&cp=1&pos=0 |access-date=2023-04-08 |website=AFI Catalog}}</ref> In the 1990s, Konchalovsky returned to Russia, although he occasionally produced historical films for U.S. television, such as his adaption of ''[[The Odyssey (1997 miniseries)|The Odyssey]]'' (1997) and the award-winning [[remake]], ''[[The Lion in Winter (2003 film)|The Lion in Winter]]'' (2003). In a 2023 [[SAG-AFTRA Foundation]] interview, [[Emily Blunt]] stated that she auditioned for a role in the latter film, and said of Konchalovsky that "he was vile... he was really horrible," and that he was "really cruel during the audition and loved taking me down a peg or two." Blunt claimed that he promoted a "very misogynistic sort of vibe, and I was a shell of my former self by the time I came out."<ref>{{Citation |title=Emily Blunt Career Retrospective {{!}} SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations | date=22 December 2023 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldTqJ2Sxf8w |access-date=2024-01-15 |language=en}}</ref>

Konchalovsky's full-length feature, ''[[House of Fools (film)|House of Fools]]'' (2003), with a cameo role by [[Bryan Adams]] as himself, set in a [[Chechnya|Chechen]] psychiatric asylum during the war, won him a Silver Lion at the [[Venice Film Festival]].

In 2010, Konchalovsky released a longtime passion project of his, ''[[The Nutcracker in 3D]]'', a musical adaptation of [[The Nutcracker|Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet]]. A musical film, it mixed live action and 3D animation, and starred Elle Fanning, John Turturro, Nathan Lane, and Richard E. Grant. The film was scored with music from the ballet, with additional lyrics by [[Tim Rice]]. The film was universally panned by critics and audiences.

In the same year, Konchalovsky also featured in ''Hitler in Hollywood'', a bio-doc about [[Micheline Presle]] which evolves into a thrilling investigation of the long hidden truth behind European cinema. This mockumentary thriller uncovers Hollywood's unsuspected plot against the European motion picture industry. The film won the FIPRESCI Prize at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and was nominated for a [[Crystal Globe (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)|Crystal Globe]] award in July 2010.

In 2012, Konchalovsky wrote, directed and produced ''The Battle for Ukraine'', which provided an in depth analysis of how Ukraine to this day struggles to escape from the close embrace of its former big brother, Russia. This extensive study lasted for almost three years and involved an array of Ukrainian, Russian and American historians, politicians and journalists, as well as the ex-President of Poland [[Aleksander Kwaśniewski]], the ex-President of Slovakia [[Rudolf Schuster]], the ex-President of Georgia [[Eduard Shevardnadze]], the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations [[Kofi Annan]], the ex-Prime Minister of Russia [[Viktor Chernomyrdin]], and the businessman [[Boris Berezovsky (businessman)|Boris Berezovsky]].

2013 saw Konchalovsky co-produce a story previously untold on film. Film-maker [[Margy Kinmonth]] invited [[Charles III]], at the time the [[Prince of Wales]], to make a journey through history to celebrate the artistic gene in his family and reveal an extraordinary treasure trove of work by royal hands past and present, many of whom were accomplished artists. Set against the spectacular landscapes of the [[Crown Estate|Royal Estates]] and containing insights into works by members of the [[British royal family]] down the centuries and The Prince of Wales's own watercolours, ''[[Royal Paintbox]]'' explores a colourful palette of intimate family memory and observation.

His film ''[[The Postman's White Nights]]'' won the [[Silver Lion]] at the [[71st Venice International Film Festival]].<ref name="Venice">{{cite web|url=http://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema/71st-festival/line-up/off-sel/venezia71/|title=International competition of feature films|work=Venice|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006083927/http://www.labiennale.org/en/cinema/71st-festival/line-up/off-sel/venezia71/|archive-date=6 October 2014|url-status=dead|access-date=24 July 2014}}</ref><ref name="Deadline">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2014/07/venice-film-festival-lineup-2014-movie-list-808803/|title=Venice Film Festival Lineup Announced|work=Deadline|date=24 July 2014|access-date=24 July 2014}}</ref> The script is centered around the true story of Aleksey Tryaptisyn, a real life [[Russian Post]] officer based in a remote [[Far North (Russia)|Russian Far North]] village surrounding [[Lake Kenozero]].

In 2020, Konchalovsky directed ''[[Dear Comrades!]]'', a historical drama about the [[Novocherkassk massacre]]. The film won the [[Special Jury Prize (Venice Film Festival)|Special Jury Prize]] at the [[77th Venice International Film Festival]]. [[Anthony Lane]], writing for ''[[The New Yorker]]'', called the film Konchalovsky's "masterpiece."
