Interesting facts

Prediction is a 1993 Russian film directed by Eldar Ryazanov and is based on his eponymous novella. The film is a fantastical melodrama and thriller.

Filming

According to the memoirs of Eldar Ryazanov, at the beginning of the shooting Irene Jacob did not speak any Russian. He offered Irene to speak in French, but she categorically refused. Jacob memorized Russian text written in Latin letters, so in the film her articulation and movement of the lips is exactly met by the original Russian pronunciation.

This is one of the few Ryazanov's movies in which he did not participate as an actor.
