Directed by Wojciech Has (1965)
With
Zbigniew Cybulski, Iga Cembrzyńska, Elzbieta Czyzewska
One of the most legendary 60s European cult films—and Has’ best-known work—is this trancey, baroque acid-trip that follows a military officer (Cybulski) on a dreamlike odyssey through Andalusia. A proclaimed favorite of both Luis Buñuel and Jerry Garcia, The Saragossa Manuscript boasts gothic visuals, a trippy story-within-a-story structure, and an experimental score by renowned composer Krzysztof Penderecki. Based on Jan Potocki’s sprawling 19th-century novel.
Preceded by a 10-minute short featuring Martin Scorsese and others, highlighting the significant recent restoration work done on Has' films
