About this product

Product Information

In the period before World War II, Joseph (Jan Nowicki) is on his way to visit his father in a sanatorium. As he travels by train, his reminiscences and fantasies blend together and become a revelatory window into the mind and psyche of a somewhat mystical young Jew. Among the images that are brought to the screen are the ghettos, black colonial mercenary soldiers, and memories of Jacob's mother and father in better times.

ReviewsFilm4 - There are many films that have been described as dreamlike but few remain worthy of the description for their full feature length. HOURGLASS SANITORIUM, however, is the (sur)real deal., International Film Guide - A mind-blowing work, the cinematographic equivalent of all MahlerÆs symphonies put together.
