The Hourglass Sanatorium Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray presents Wojciech Has’s surreal masterpiece, a dreamlike labyrinth of memory, mortality and fractured time, widely regarded as one of the great achievements of Polish cinema.

When Józef arrives at a decaying sanatorium to visit his dying father, he enters a world where time no longer behaves rationally and reality seems to dissolve room by room. As he moves deeper into the building, the film unfolds as a series of hallucinatory encounters that blur memory, fantasy and death, transforming the sanatorium into both physical space and psychological landscape.

Adapted from Bruno Schulz and realised through extraordinary production design, the film remains a singular work of visionary cinema, influencing generations of arthouse and fantasy filmmakers.

This limited edition presents the film in a new 4K restoration with substantial contextual material and collector packaging.
