"I got a lion in my pocket, and baby..."

So, looking over the dismal competition lineup at Venice, I would say the odds-on bet to take home this year's by-default, Covid-tainted Golden Lion would be....Andrei Konchalovsky. He has already won the Silver Lion twice, and he is just generally the most fêted (not to say fetid) filmmaker in the competition. I suppose if Nomadland is anywhere close to good, they could give it to Chloé Zhao. But otherwise, it's Andrei's to lose.
Which brings me to my point. I have never seen a film by this guy. (No. Not even Tango & Cash.) Is he worth exploring? Where would one begin?
