2000 · Film
Released in 2000, The Sandman is a drama film directed by Stephen Quay, running about 41 minutes.
What it’s about. One of several collaborative dance films by the Brothers Quay & (dancer, choreographer) William Tuckett. Little enough info around on line, but there's briefly by way of Wikipedia entry. Adapted rather loosely from the works of the E.T.A. Hoffman. Familiar Quays' tropes, much in evidence: automata, trompe l'oeil effects, etc. No credit on the sound design (which is fairly elaborate), tho' that is possibly Larry Sider.
Who’s in it. The Sandman stars Heathcote Williams, Irek Mukhamedov, Zenaida Yanowsky and Luke Heydon, among others.
