Not because of any specific content warnings, but because of the intensely surrealist and avant-garde nature of his narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften considered the second of Has' masterworks, alongside The Saragossa Manuscript, The Hourglass Sanitorium abandons most of the traditional storytelling structure of the former text. Ostensibly the story of a man going to visit his father in a Sanatorium, the film depicts a world of constantly shifting environments and behaviors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a beautiful, haunting film full of evocative imagery. A must see for fans of the gothic and the absurd and for those looking for true visionary projects. For those looking for a tale in which A connects to B and leads to C?
