The Saragossa Manuscript C/D?

This was Jerry Garcia's favorite supper, in case you want to check that out too. I read his biography Dark Star and it said he usually dined at a San Rafael AM-PM.

I saw the movie in a hotel room in Dallas.. I thought it was pretty entertaining.

xpost to the Argunaut:
Those were actually some of the most famous actresses in Poland, who were perhaps helped by their period costumes. Two of them also have the main roles in Everything For Sale, the film about the death of Zbigniew Cybulski, the Polish James Dean, who is the star of The Saragossa Manuscript. But you are perhaps not altogether incorrect in your assessment: when in Warsaw.,,

i love 18th century literature!

I've been looking for a copy of "Saragossa Manuscript" director Wojciech Has' "The Hourglass Sanitorium" for close on a decade, and finally chanced on a copy in HMV this afternoon. I'm saving it for the holidays. Released in the UK by Mr. Bongo, who seem to specialise in Brazilian music but have recently diversified into world cinema. (Wonder if they'll ever get round to his version of "Confessions of a Justified Sinner"?)

if anyone's seen the other Has films an has strong recs....

The Hourglass Sanatorium is my favourite of his. Also saw the Noose, which was very good but quite different from THS and TSM - less surreal, more of a drama, iirc. I thought I'd caught another one at a film fest but none of the others are ringing strong bells, so maybe just those three.

thanks! hoping to stay awake for Sanatorium tomw night.

I don't have it to hand, but in the latest Sight and Sound (del Toro cover) there's a review of new Hourglass/Saragossa Blu-Rays that also mentions other Has films of interest, fwiw

In addition to film mentioned in the thread title, have seen and enjoyed
Codes
The Doll
How To Be Loved

*bump* since I saw this again last night, which makes three times- as many as Buñuel! Annette Insdorf did the introduction, which was interesting and entertaining, although almost all of it can be found in the relevant chapter in her book on Has, which also cites this article

Hoping I can go back to see a few more in the complete retrospective.

Ha, the review in that link is kind of a knock.

Reposting retro link from the NYC Film Snob thread: https://www.filmlinc.org/series/the-long-strange-trips-of-wojciech-jerzy-has

That review might explain why I did not connect with the film at the time

Get to hear a lot of The Dead at this festival because of the Jerry Garcia fandom

Retro is over, but saw lots of good stuff

Even loved watching the trailer every time beforehand:

Keep thinking of the guy who spoke on the final night talking about some static between Has and Cybulski.

There was a point were Has thought Cybulski wasn’t coming back so he got some nonentity named Andre Clair to play the part for a while

Only it turned out the guy couldn’t ride a horse, let alone act

The speaker in question being Andrzej Krakowski, whose father was the head of the Kamera film studio.
