In the Oscar-nominated film 'Anora', Yura Borisov plays Igor, a henchman sent to retrieve an oligarch's son. Despite limited dialogue, his character's depth emerges through a tough exterior, as he navigates familial ties and his duality as both a brute and a sensitive individual. Director Sean Baker praised Borisov for enriching the character, showcasing how audiences connected with Igor's complexity. With six Oscar nominations, including best picture, Borisov's portrayal leads to his notable nomination for best supporting actor, making history as the first Russian actor nominated since 1977.

You might be perceived as a gopnik, but we actually think that you've been misunderstood.
