The Duchess of Avila
La duchesse d'Avila
An epic six-hour adaptation of Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. Most famously filmed by Wojciech Has, this four part adaptation has the advantage of a vastly expanded running time, allowing for more of the novel to be incorporated >> shot on film, it was clearly a very expensive production and is equally spectacular in its own way.
Philippe Ducrest directed The Duchess of Avila. Explore their complete filmography and the collaborators who shaped their vision.
