If you close your eyes, you might wake up inside the movie, unstuck from time yourself.
-- New York Times
Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass
The first feature in 20 years by animation masters the Quay Brothers is inspired by the writings of Polish author Bruno Schulz. In a mixture of live action and breathtakingly intricate stop-motion puppetry, the Quays follow the journey of Josef, who arrives at a labyrinthine sanatorium in search of his dying father. Told in seven chapters corresponding with seven prophetic, mystical viewing lenses, the film bends objects, time, and dimensions as Josef navigates the realm between dreams and reality.
