Wonderland.
From the daring depths of his native Russia’s
indie habitat to an almost inevitable impending
inclusion among Hollywood’s elite, Mark
Eydelshteyn cannot simply look forward; his
sight is squinted by possibilities. Fresh from his
hilarious and piercing breakthrough turn in Sean
Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning paragon Anora, the
22-year-old covers Wonderland Winter 2024,
documenting his cross-continent odyssey to
securing the role, reflecting on the lessons he
learned working with the film’s auteur director,
depicting the intricacies of his performance as
Ivan, the complex son of an oligarch, and
looking ahead at a future career of multifarious
opportunity.
