"I was delighted to snag The Saragossa Manuscript on sale, and Yellow Veil’s edition absolutely delivers. The transfer is gorgeous, and the picture looks better than I’ve ever seen it, making the film’s intricate sequences really shine. Shipping was quicker than normal so, thanks VS! A masterpiece that finally gets the release it deserves."
"Gorgeous, a must-see, I just wish there were more bonus materials. Amazing visual transfer."
"The cover caught my eye and further research led me to discovering this surrealist film and it's director have been praised by David Lynch, Jerry Garcia, Scorcese, Bunuel among others. Reason enough to grab a copy!"
"Probably one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, I got interested in Has for hourglass sanatorium but he really connected with me in this long, repetitive and confusing movie that has mystery and sometimes horror. I'm waiting for a ssale to buy "How to be loved", also from Yellow Veil partner label."
"Essential avant-garde filmmaking, with great supplementary introduction."
"Of his films, this is my favorite. Big recommend."
"Surreal cult epic. Great video and audio presentation. Good extras and slipcover."
"One of the most metaphysically rich and playfully elusive films I’ve ever seen. A labyrinthine meditation on the limits of reason, the fluidity of identity, and the transformatively deceptive power of stories. Haven’t had this much fun watching a movie in a long time."
"Fantastic release of an undiscovered gem. Loaded with bonus features and a booklet of essays. Highly recommend this set!"
"Another great film from Has!"
