Andrzej Zulawski RIP
Today, film fans everywhere mourn the loss of Andrzej Zulawski, director of a number of weird and wonderful films, including Cosmos, which came out internationally last year and still isn’t available in America.
Here at Birth.Movies.Death., we really love Zulawski’s 1981 film Possession. Over the years, we've come at this singular, challenging work from a number of angles. In every comment section, fans recommended Zulawski’s other works to us - films like The Devil, The Public Woman, and Szamanka. We didn't all heed that advice, but maybe today's news will move us - and you - to explore the other works in this artist's CV.
In honor of Zulawski’s passing, we’ve compiled these articles, along with a fun look at a Żuławski, Dolph Lundgren film called Le Tigre that, sadly, did not come to pass.
Here's Andrew Todd on The Possession's two central performances.
