    Seriously one of the best surrealist films I’ve seen. Possibly the best film VS has ever released…

    The Hourglass Sanatorium

    This was my first introduction to the director and can say that was a fun, fantasy driven movie of his. Though the dialog is in Italian, I found it interesting and will watch over a few times more.
