News > Fortissimo Grabs Gloss

Written by David Morgan

Fortissimo Films has made a deal for all worldwide sales rights outside France and Russia for Gloss, a Russian satire from director Andrei Konchalovsky. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The feature centers on a poor girl from a coal-mining town who travels to Moscow with dreams of being a supermodel. After being forced to work as a seamstress, she stumbles her way to the top in a story that spoofs Russia's newfound capitalism."

Konchalovsky has also directed such films as the Oscar-nominated Runaway Train, and Siberiade. Gloss will next be seen at the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
