Which version of The Manuscript Found in Saragossa should I read first, 1804 or 1810?

Don't know the hard facts, apparently two scholars discovered a set of manuscripts that change the mood/tone of the whole thing into a more religious, darker one. I'm OP btw, so take it with a grain of salt as obviously I haven't still read any of them.

Wiki notes that
>Rosset and Triaire identified two versions of the novel: one unfinished, of 1804, published in 1805; and the full version of 1810, which appears to have been completely reconceived in comparison to the 1804 version. Whereas the first version has a lighter, more sceptical tone, the second one tends toward a darker, more religious mood.
I also recommend the 1965 film, its very humorous.

Not OP, but the movie was amazing. Is there anything at least remotely similar that I can watch?
