Huzzah Quay

As I say every time there is a film festival happening that I am not at I didn't look at the movies playing at said fest because it always just makes me angry. So I had no idea that there was a new movie from stop-motion animation legends The Quay Brothers premiering in Venice this week, but there is, there is, there is! It's called Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass (what a killer phrase) and the clip above is our first look at it via Variety. It's based on the 1937 novel of the same title by Polish author Bruno Schulz, whose work they have adapted before. The book is technically a collection of related short stories about the death of the narrator's father, so... basically right up the Quays' usual goth alley. Anyway the only play-date I see attached to this thing right now is Venice -- hopefully it makes its way further into the world shortly!
