Andrzej Żuławski (born 22 November 1940) is a Polish film director. He was born in Lwów, Poland (now Lviv,Ukraine).
Żuławski was an assistant of Andrzej Wajda. When his second film Diabeł was banned in Poland he decided to move to France, where he made L'Important c'est d'aimer (1975) with Romy Schneider.
After returning to Poland he worked for two years on a film which the authorities did not allow him to finish (On the Silver Globe), based on a book by his great-uncle Jerzy Żuławski. Since then he has lived and worked mostly in France, making successful[citation needed] art films.
Being a maverick who always defied mainstream commercialism, Zulawski enjoyed success mostly with the European art-house audiences. His wild, imaginative, and controversial pictures have received 16 awards at various international film festivals. He also wrote the novels Il était Un Verger, Lity Bór (a.k.a: La Forêt Forteresse), W Oczach Tygrysa, and Ogród Milosci.
He has been in a relation for fifteen years with French actress Sophie Marceau with whom he made his most recent movie „La Fidelité“.
