    • Trivia
      Luis Buñuel, who seldom viewed movies more than once, liked this film so much that he saw it three times.
    • Quotes

      Donna Rebecca Uzeda: All these adventures begin simply. The listener thinks it'll soon be over, but one story creates another, and then another.

      Don Pedro Velasquez: Something like quotients which can be divided infinitely.

    • Alternate versions
      Originally released in a cut version in the US, the film was restored to it's original 182-minutes running time and premiered at the New York Film Festival in September 1997.

    just watch it
    i have a really low threshold for boredom, and while i saw this on the bigscreen, in a real theatre, i was spellbound. i didnt know what to expect, but it was mesmerising. i didnt try intellectualise it, but it was impossible to pick apart. just see it. put your head into the time period that the story is trying to convey. caveat: i think apocalypse now is an amazing film. redux was great. when i walked out of the theatre after seeing saragossa, i couldnt speak for hours. do yourself a favor and at least give this one a shot. try and see it on the big screen if you can.
