About The Saragossa Manuscript
The Saragossa Manuscript is a 1965 Polish film directed by Wojciech Has, based on the 1815 novel The Manuscript Found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki. Set primarily in Spain, it tells a frame story containing gothic, picaresque and erotic elements. In a deserted house during the Napoleonic Wars, two officers from opposing sides find a manuscript, which tells the tale of the Spanish officer's grandfather, Alphonso van Worden. Van Worden travelled in the region many years before, being plagued by evil spirits, and meeting such figures as a Qabalist and a Romani person, who tell him further stories, many of which intertwine and interrelate with one another.
