Pavel Semyonovich Lungin (Russian: Па́вел Семёнович Лунги́н; born 12 July 1949) is a Russian film director.[1][2][3] He is sometimes credited as Pavel Loungine (as in the American release of Tycoon). Lungin was awarded the distinction People's Artist of Russia in 2008.[4]
Lungin worked primarily as a scriptwriter until given the opportunity to direct Taxi Blues at age 40. The film starred well-known musician Pyotr Mamonov.[6] For the film he received the Best Director Prize at 1990 Cannes Film Festival.[7] That same year he took up residence in France, while making films in and about Russia with French producers. Two years later, his next film Luna Park would also compete at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival.[8]
In 2001 Pavel Lungin began shooting his new film Tycoon based on Julii Dubov's [ru] novel The Big Ration. The picture was a drama set during the Mikhail Gorbachev years about five students who jump on the private capitalism movement. The film was released in Russia in October 2002.[11]
