Three By Wojciech J. Has LE Blu-ray celebrates the work of one of Poland's most visionary filmmakers, collecting three landmark works that showcase the director's extraordinary ability to blur the boundaries between memory, dreams, history and reality. Spanning a decade of creative evolution, these films reveal why Wojciech J. Has remains one of the most distinctive voices in world cinema.

 

The Saragossa Manuscript stands as Has' most internationally celebrated achievement, a dazzling labyrinth of nested stories, supernatural encounters and philosophical adventures that unfolds during the Napoleonic era. The Hourglass Sanatorium ventures even deeper into surrealism, transforming memory, grief and history into a dreamlike exploration of time and loss inspired by the writings of Bruno Schulz. Completing the collection is How to Be Loved, a powerful psychological drama examining sacrifice, guilt and survival during and after the German occupation of Poland.

 

Together, these three acclaimed films form an essential introduction to Has' singular cinematic world, where fantasy and reality intertwine to create some of the most imaginative and visually captivating works in European cinema.
