‘Anora’ Breakout Yura Borisov Confirmed for Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Artificial’ at Amazon MGM
Yura Borisov, who was Oscar-nominated for his role in 'Anora,' has been confirmed as joining Luca Guadagnino's Artificial for Amazon MGM.
Yura Borisov, who landed a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for his critically acclaimed turn alongside Mikey Madison in Sean Baker’s “Anora,” has been officially cast in Luca Guadagnino ‘s upcoming feature “Artificial.” Borisov is one of the biggest stars in his native Russia with more than 50 credits to his name, including “Captain Volkonogov Escaped” and Kirill Serebrennikov’s “Petrov’s Flu.” He first rose to prominence to Western audiences as one of the leads in the Cannes-bowing Grand Prix winner “Compartment Number 6,” which saw him earn a nomination for best actor at the European Film Awards. But it was his quiet performance (and his first English speaking role) as Igor, a reluctant henchman with a big heart, in Baker’s Palme d’Or and multiple Oscar-winning sex worker comedy “Anora” that catapulted him into Hollywood circles, earning him Oscar, SAG, BAFTA, Golden Globe, Critic’s Choice and Independent Spirit Award nominations.
