It is a sequel to the films Burnt by the Sun (1994) and Burnt by the Sun 2: Exodus (2010). Burnt by the Sun 3: The Citadel, like a predecessor, had the largest production budget ever seen in Russian cinema, but it turned out to be Russia's biggest box office flop, and received negative reviews from critics both in Russia and abroad. The film was selected as the Russian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated. ## Credits - **Director:** [Nikita Mikhalkov](https://cinepixo.com/people/nikita-mikhalkov) - **Screenplay:** [Nikita Mikhalkov](https://cinepixo.com/people/nikita-mikhalkov), [Gleb Panfilov](https://cinepixo.com/people/gleb-panfilov), [Eduard Volodarsky](https://cinepixo.com/people/eduard-volodarsky), [Vladimir Moiseenko](https://cinepixo.com/people/vladimir-moiseenko) - **Producer:** [Nikita Mikhalkov](https://cinepixo.com/people/nikita-mikhalkov), [Leonid Vereshchagin](https://cinepixo.com/people/leonid-vereshchagin) - **Original Music Composer:** [Eduard Artemyev](https://cinepixo.com/people/eduard-artemyev) - **Director of Photography:** [Vladislav Opeliants](https://cinepixo.com/people/vladislav-opeliants) ## Cast - [Victoria Tolstoganova](https://cinepixo.com/people/victoria-tolstoganova) - [Vladimir Ilyin](https://cinepixo.com/people/vladimir-ilyin) - [Nadezhda Mikhalkova](https://cinepixo.com/people/nadezhda-mikhalkova) - [Nikita Mikhalkov](https://cinepixo.com/people/nikita-mikhalkov) - [Oleg Menshikov](https://cinepixo.com/people/oleg-menshikov) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
