John Welding ~ Drawing

I started watching  The Hourglass Sanitorium , a Polish film from 1975. It was recommended to me by a YouTube channel on obscure cinema. ' On The Silver Globe ' was also on the list and as that is one of my all-time favourite bizarre films, thought Hourglass was worth a go. Visually stunning, theatrical and mysterious with sets that looked like they had been found, abandoned and extravagantly decadent in winter, The Hourglass Sanitorium starts off well enough... Sadly, I had to give up after 30 minutes. There was a Terry Gilliam feeling about the storytelling. Terry G works better with others when he has editorial/studio constraints. The work otherwise looks good but becomes self indulgent to the point of being unwatchable. Tideland was the last TG film I watched. I will return to The Hourglass Sanitorium but it will have to be viewed in chunks. The other drawing is a doodle, unrelated but I enjoyed doing it.
