The Saragossa Manuscript (1965) Poland, Wojciech Has
" by any standard a long strange trip" Village Voice
The "mindbending" qualities apparently were a huge influence on counter culture musician Jerry Garcia. He cited the film as his favourite. In the face of the dramatic absurdities of 60s life and with so much.disenchantment of the world, here was a film about the enchantment of man. Garcia instigated a restoration project of the full film in the 1990s.
Simultaneously erotic, demonic, supernatural and funny, the amazing 3hour film is a disorienting labyrinth of receding stories that loop back on themselves eventually resolve, only to dissolve again, a film with five levels of flashback...
