Before ‘Anora,’ Yura Borisov Starred in This Charming Romantic Drama
Yura Borisov first proved himself to be a charismatic romantic lead in the underrated drama Compartment No. 6.
Although Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning indie sensation Anora has been getting rave reviews for Mikey Madison’s lead performance ever since its debut, one of the most surprising narratives within this year’s awards season cycle has been the popularity of Yura Borisov. Borisov’s role as the gruff, yet surprisingly gentle Russian henchman Igor is silent for a majority of the film but ends up playing a significant role within the story’s conclusion. Anora offers a different perspective on romance, and Borisov’s subtle, yet deeply affecting work is the main reason that the film holds up so well upon repeated viewings. Although it is great to see all the accolades that have come his way for Anora, Borisov first proved himself to be a charismatic romantic lead in the underrated drama Compartment No. 6.
