A long trip that will lead you to unexpected places, even if you have seen the film before. Sometimes called ‘Poland’s greatest cult film’, this is a classic example of a frame story (tale-within-a-tale-within-a-tale). Presented tales correspond to each other, change the meaning of previous tales and shed different light on already defined characters, creating a unique labyrinth of a story about reality and illusion, the interpretation of which differs with subsequent viewings. Has‘ untamed imagination, sumptuous cinematography, hallucinatory staging of scenes and the story itself make <Saragossa Manuscript> one of the best proofs that film is a dream. (Michał CHACI?SKI)
