Polish film director known for intense, visionary and often disturbing films such as Possession (1981) and Il diavolo (Diabel).

Reviews emphasize his visionary stylistic hysteria, recurrent themes of evil and madness, striking cinematography and volatile performances (Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill are noted for Possession). One review states he was a pupil of Andrzej Wajda.

Reviews emphasize Zulawski's visionary, hallucinatory style and recurring themes of evil, madness and metaphysical despair. Possession and Il diavolo are presented as peak works, praised for performances, cinematography and formal daring. The overall critical stance is reverent and intense.

For:Fans of intense, surreal, psychological and art-house cinema; readers of deep film criticism.

 As a work, it will prove to be, perhaps, the most visually degrading and unpleasant of his entire production over time.

 Magmatic and overflowing, labyrinthine, anguishing, alienating, Possession by Andrzej Zulawski is one of those dark pearls of world cinema unjustly unknown or forgotten by many, a true jewel with constantly changing reflections that, like few films, aspires to summarize in itself all the most urgent questions of human existence.

 You will never forget Anna whose madness first insinuates and then explodes like an atomic bomb.
