Miroslaw Zulawski to
Czechoslovakia and later Poland. In the late 1950s, he studied
cinema in France. In the 1960s, he was an assistant of the famous
Polish film director
Andrzej Wajda. His feature debut
The Third Part of the Night (1971) was an
adaptation of his father's novel. His second feature
The Devil (1972) was
prohibited in Poland, and Zulawski went to France. After the success of
his French debut
That Most Important Thing: Love (1975) in 1975, he returned to Poland where he spent
two years in making
On the Silver Globe (1988). The work on this film was brutally

violent films. Zulawski is well known for his ability to discover and
"rediscover" actresses:
