Martin Scorcese’s Polish Masterpieces
Said to be a favourite of Luis Buñuel, The Saragossa Manuscript is a brilliant examination of the supernatural and the mystical. Set in 1739, it sees a young Spanish captain crossing the Sierra Morena, entrusted with several important missions and embarking on a series of wild encounters, each stranger than the last. Skilfully adapted from Jan Potocki’s 1813 novel, this elegant film faithfully reproduces the intricate Chinese box structure of the book – to the point where neither audience nor characters can ever be sure where reality stops.
