Review
The Hourglass is a fundamental milestone in the history of the cinematographical language, an absolute masterpiece --Le Monde

The Hourglass is a mind-blowing work, the cinematographic equivalent of all Mahler's symphonies put together --International Film Guide

There are many films that have been described as dreamlike but few remain worthy of the description for their full feature length. Hourglass Sanatorium, however, is the (sur)real deal --Film4
