Andrzej Zulawski (Polish: ['and??j ?u'wafsk?i]; 22 November 1940 – 17 February 2016) was a Polish film director and writer.
He was born in Lwów (Lviv), [Poland] (now Ukraine).
Zulawski often went against mainstream commercialism in his films, and enjoyed success mostly with European art-house audiences. In the late 1950s, he studied cinema in France.
His second feature The Devil (1972) was banned in Poland, and Zulawski went to France.
After the success of That Most Important Thing: Love in 1975, he returned to Poland where he spent two years making On the Silver Globe (1988).
The work on this film was interrupted by the Polish authorities.
After that, Zulawski moved to France where he became known for controversial and violent art-house films.
Zulawski is also known for his work with actresses including Romy Schneider, Isabelle Adjani and Sophie Marceau. His films have received awards at various international film festivals.
Zulawski had also written several novels, for example: Il était Un Verger, Lity Bór (a.k.a.
La Forêt Forteresse), W Oczach Tygrysa, and Ogród Milosci.
