‘Sanatorium’ Visits a Brutalist Ex-Soviet Wellness Resort in Ukraine Offering an “Oasis of Respite”

'Sanatorium'

CPH:DOX, the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, kicked off on Friday with a mix of docs from around the globe about a broad selection of topics in line with the fest’s reputation among attendees. A colossal ex-Soviet wellness center in Odesa, Ukraine is one of the locations and topics getting the Copenhagen spotlight this year, thanks to Sanatorium, the new observational doc from Irish filmmaker Gar O’Rourke (series Secrets of a Murder Detective With Steve Keogh).
