Description

Technical Specs

A movie that deserves its cult classic status. Based on the novel The Manuscript Found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki, this mind-bending and witty tale chronicles the adventures of a Walloon guard under the King of Spain. Something of a Don Juan, this colorful 19th-century character must pass numerous tests to prove his courage, honesty and honor in order to become a member of the powerful Mauretanian family. Polish screen idol Zbigniew Cybulski stars. "Those who like a challenge and can handle a dizzyingly dense structure that's more puzzle than plot will be well rewarded" (Gary Morris, Bright Lights Film Journal). In Polish with English subtitles. Letterboxed. Restored to its full-length running time.
