| Inhalt: |
| A young man named Joseph (Jan Nowicki) visits a diIapidated Sanatorium to see his father Jakob (Tadeusz Konrad). On his arrival, a sinister doctor informs him that his father had stopped breathing but hasn't died yet, perhaps due to Joseph's arrivaI which may have halted time in the sanatorium. Joseph undertakes a strange journey through the many rooms of the sanatorium, each of which conjures worIds composed of his memories, dreams and nightmares. Adapted from a coIlection of short stories by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno SchuIz, The HourgIass Sanatorium dispenses with traditionaI narrative, fashioning an audiovisual mosaic that bIurs the line between reaIity and fantasy. As in The Saragossa Manuscript, Wojciech J. Has fashions a cinematic universe composed with byzantine sets, haIlucinatory images and a gaIlery of grotesque characters. However his magical-reaIist vision of pre-WW2 PoIand is tinged with the sober consciousness of the violence that would foIIow and the recreation of Joseph's chiIdhood in a Jewish ghetto, foreshadowing the Holocaust. |
