The Saragossa Manuscript
1966 · TMDB 7.8 · Rękopis znaleziony w Saragossie
Directed by Wojciech Has
During the Napoleonic wars, a Spanish officer and an opposing officer find a book written by the former's grandfather.
Why it matters
Wojciech Has's epic narrative puzzle, based on Jan Potocki's novel, unfolds as a series of nested tales within tales, each one interrupting the next. A masterpiece of storytelling that influenced David Lynch and others.
