A young man named Josef visits a dilapidated Sanatorium to see his father Jakob. On his arrival, a sinister doctor informs him that his father had stopped breathing but hasn't died yet, perhaps due to Josef's arrival which may have halted time in the sanatorium. Josef undertakes a strange journey through the many rooms of the sanatorium, each which conjures worlds composed of his memories, dreams and nightmares.

I won't lie, I can't comprehend this movie after one watch. So this review will only be for that stuff my eyes saw and read. How the brain handled it all I can't say for sure, I think it's still lost in time and space.
I think what confused me most was the dialogue. Normally I guess books, poems, s More
