The Saragossa Manuscript Ratings & Reviews
Kino Mania
Giuseppe Sedia
In terms of narrative technique, The Saragossa Manuscript represents a triumph of Baroque wit combined with Surrealist imagery. A master of digressive technique, Has is never afraid of losing himself or the audience in his mould-breaking visual poems.

Richard Propes
One comes away from viewing the film ultimately impressed by the power of imagination in nearly all aspects of life.
The New Yorker
Michael Sragow
This three-hour swirl of Polish phantasmagoria, from 1965, is an epic piece of japery; it celebrates visions and magic by means of labyrinthine storytelling.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Has reaches the epitome of his dazzling talent for warping cinematic time in this three hour epic, a giddy, almost unclassifiable work with elements from such disparate genre works as "The Brides of Dracula" to swashbucklers and European sex farces.

Robin Clifford
I do not hesitate to call "The Saragossa Manuscript" a masterpiece in every way.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
Derived from a hundred-sixty-year-old novel written in French, Wojciech Has's 1965 Edinburgh and San Sebastin prize-winning 'The Saragossa Manuscript' is in beautiful black and white
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's not quite as life-changing as all that, but it's certainly playful and very interesting as a study of narrative flow.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
By any standard, a long strange trip.
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
A wonderful, surreal assault on narrative; it's funny, intelligent, and a ridiculously sly good time.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
An interesting failure.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Surely one of the most convolutedly plotted films ever to reach the silver screen.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
These trials suggest a goofy, sprawling, all-purpose allegory so overstuffed with symbolism that it plays as a kind of epic spoof of the form.
