Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass

Directed by The Quay Brothers (2024), In Polish; English subtitles. 76 min.

The first feature in 20 years by animation masters The Quay Brothers is inspired by the stories of Polish author Bruno Schulz (Street of Crocodiles). In a mixture of live action and breathtakingly intricate stop-motion puppetry, the film follows 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.
