Łukasz Żal



Oscar Nominee Lukasz Zal's nomination reaction statement. I was sent this. I just re-watched Cold War, a stunning film that just gets better with repeat viewings, and Zal's stark, classic black and white images are a big part of it. They could be Cartier Bresson (his Russian book) or André Kertesz, Josel Koudelka. . . the great candid still photographers of the mid-century. And he's Polish! - like the director.

“Collaborating with director Paweł Pawlikowski on Cold War has been an incredible experience and honor. I am greatly humbled by this recognition from the Academy. Thank you to Amazon Studios for supporting this film and thank you to the audiences around the world that have seen and embraced Cold War.”
