In Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass, young Jozef boards a train to a remote sanatorium in the Carpathians to visit his dying father one last time. But what he finds there is far from reassuring: a crumbling building inhabited by whispering ghosts and mysterious rooms, where time stretches like chewing gum and reality slowly dissolves into smoke. As Jozef wanders from room to room, he sinks into a sighing underworld; a poetic steampunk landscape filled with memories, phantoms, and the scars of the past.

The Quay Brothers kept us waiting for twenty years for their third feature film, an adaptation that captures the haunting essence of Bruno Schulz’s original story. The film appeared on numerous critics' year-end lists, yet has only reached a limited audience. Let yourself be carried away by its dreamlike aesthetic and richly atmospheric universe, where a dark, murky, and disjointed logic bends the fabric of reality.
