Second Run is - gulp! - 20 years old. We're holding a special screening of one of our most popular titles, Juraj Herz's brilliant, and still chillingly relevant THE CREMATOR on Sat 4th Oct at London's ICA Cinema. The film also features one of the great Liška's finest scores! ica.art/films/second...
"A stellar presentation of a cult classic, offering a high-quality HD transfer that revitalizes its innovative visuals, a thoughtful array of extras that provide deep context and historical insight... a definitive package" @dvdbeaver.bsky.social go wild for JESSIE www.dvdbeaver.com/subsite/film...
"WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE? packs a lot into its swift running time. Whether you're in the mood for a playful tweak on pulp conventions or an absurdist slice of social satire, it's a zippy good time that keeps surprising you at every turn" @mondodigital.bsky.socialwww.mondo-digital.com/jessie.html
Ahead of our new Blu-ray release of WENDY AND LUCY on 6th October, here's director Kelly Reichardt and actor Michelle Williams talking about the film following it's 2008 premiere at the New York Film Festival.
"Extraordinary fusions of science fiction and farce [...] the whole film becomes a successful allegory for the triumph of imagination over bureaucracy, and more importantly it’s incredibly funny" The Geek Show on Vorliček’s irresistable WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE?
A selection of terrific artworks for WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE? posters and ads from it's releases around the world.
In Italy it was released theatrically in 1967 as 'Superman vuole uccidere Jessie' (‘Superman Wants to Kill Jessie’) - as if in answer to the film's quizzical title.
"The Second Run Blu‑ray brings the film back to light with a crisp HD transfer, expert commentary, a video essay, and a rich booklet... ideal for both nostalgia hunters and new audiences discovering its madcap genius" Cinemas Online review the wonderful JESSIE cinemas-online.co.uk/reviews/68ab...
"Second Run's three-disc set ZOLTÁN HUSZÁRIK: SZINDBÁD / CSONTVÁRY / ELÉGIA: FIVE SHORT FILMS encompasses nearly the entire career of one of Hungary's major but now almost forgotten filmmakers."
