Hospital (TV) (S)
1962 · Movie · 23 min. · Poland
1962’s SZPITAL (HOSPITAL) is set entirely in a claustrophobic hospital room where a male patient is confined. Throughout the film the room is invaded by a variety of strange people who at times even appear in bed with the guy. Another peculiarity is the ever-present sound of a train whistle, an apparent Holocaust reference that carries over into the increasingly macabre final scenes, wherein the man is accosted by a indistinct figure and a gun-wielding beaurocrat.
