• Article about Vykrutasy and interview with director Leo Gabriadze from Prime Time Russia:
  With two of Russia's most sought-after artists in the lead -- the burlesque "one-man band" Ivan Urgant and the versatile "Hamlet" Konstantin Khabensky, as well as the Fifth Element star Milla Jovovich in the limelight -- there must have been an electric chemistry between all the three on set.

  Gabriadze: "Well, Ivan and Milla actually knew each other from before. It was fun working with all of them. The atmosphere on set was laid back and happy, everybody was joking all the time. Milla is amazing. She has so much passion, respect and devotion! And remember, she has never performed in Russian before. It was very hard for her. She has really shaped her character, put herself into it. Initially I didn't like her character as written in the script, but she somehow managed to breathe real life into it, making it exciting and strong. The whole team was in love with her. She is open and charming."
