Isabelle Adjani won Best Actress at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival for starring in a film by a director from this country. While not set in this country, that film uses demonic possession as a metaphor for the effects of domestic violence. Possession was made a year after a film from this country, Man of Iron, won the Palme d’Or. A director from this country moved to England in 1965 to make a film in which a woman develops psychosis inside of an apartment and eventually kills her landlord with a razor. Another film by that director has a famous shot of a LIFE Magazine cover asking “Is God Dead?” and a controversial “dream” sequence. That film was not shot in the director’s home country, but in New York City, where Mia Farrow had to run through traffic as she played a woman impregnated by the devil. For ten points, name this home country of Andrzej Zulawski and Roman Polanski.
