With Zbigniew Cybulski, Iga Cembrzynska, Elzbieta Czyzewska<br>Poland 1964, DCP, b/w, 182 min. Polish with English subtitles<!--break--></em></p><p>	Admired by the likes of Luis Buñuel, David Lynch, Lucrecia Martel and Jerry Garcia—who spearheaded its 1997 restoration—<em>The Saragossa Manuscript</em> fully deserves its legendary status as one of most unclassifiable and extraordinary cult/art films of the postwar European cinema. Has's oneiric trance film famously uses a Russian doll structure to leap across time and space, following its unlikely hero across a series of bleak, frightening yet strangely exuberant, landscapes, largely set in a dream Andalusia. Grim and ecstatic, febrile and hypnotic, Has's Gothic fantasy is a heady affirmation of the power of the cinematic imagination to create and destroy entire worlds. Almost as legendary as <em>The Saragossa Manuscript</em> is its haunting electroacoustic score by Polish master composer Krzysztof Penderecki.</p><p>	<strong>Note: This is a ticketed screening. Visit the Harvard Film Archive website for more information.</strong></p><p>	<strong>Contact: </strong>Harvard Film Archive, 617-495-4700<br><strong>Sponsors: </strong>Harvard Film Archive, Center for Middle Eastern Studies</p>
