Maksim Emelyanov(I)

Also a trained stage actor.

[on Michel Hazanavicius] Not only is Michel a terrific director, he is also very gentle man. In Russia, directors often shout at actors. Michel gets what he wants by other means. I was also very happy that we could do many takes. Up until now, on the Russian films I've worked on, we rehearsed then did three takes, no more.
