Andrzej Żuławski

Born in Poland in 1940, he grew up between Warsaw and Paris, following in the footsteps of his father, a diplomat and poet. He studied film in the French capital and took his first steps as Andrzej Wajda’s assistant director. His debut film, The Third Part of the Night (1971), was extremely well-received and was the first step in a filmography full of destructive passions and fierce poetic meaning, bringing him closer to the fantastic genre in films like Possession (1981), On the Silver Globe (1988) or Szamanka (1996). Also among his most important works are The Most Important Thing: Love (1975) and My Nights Are More Beautiful Than Your Days (1989).
