Our take

Admired by Luis Buñuel and David Lynch, Wojciech J. Has’ The Saragossa Manuscript is a major cult film of the 1960’s. A mind-bending exploration of the Spanish inquisition, the film is a labyrinth of smokescreens– stories inside of stories that form an entirely unique reflection on Spanish history.
