Polish film director and writer known for intense, visionary works across Poland and France. His films often merge psychological horror with metaphysical inquiry. Debuted with The Third Part of the Night (1971) and concluded with Cosmos (2015). Died in 2016.

Three DeBaser reviews paint Andrzej Zulawski as a visionary auteur of extremes. Possession is hailed for its metaphysical depth, incendiary performances, and oppressive Berlin setting, while Il diavolo (Diabel) is praised for its demonic poetics, handheld fury, and unsettling imagery. Themes include faith, fate, doubles, and cosmic evil, with standout direction and cinematography. Censorship controversies are noted.
