Memoirs of a Sinner (Osobisty pamiętnik grzesznika przez niego samego spisany)
The Long Strange Trips of Wojciech Jerzy Has

Set in 19th-century Scotland, this film concerns a deceased young man whose corpse is exhumed by grave robbers, only for the young man to return to life in order to recount the events that preceded his demise.

Set in Scotland, the film concerns a deceased young man whose corpse is exhumed by grave robbers; the young man returns to life in order to recount the events that preceded his demise—namely, his efforts to prove that committing foul deeds does not disqualify someone from the possibility of redemption, as well as his curious relationship with his own bloodthirsty doppelgänger.
