Who Wants to Kill Jessie?
(Kdo chce zabít Jessii?)

A film by Václav Vorlíček
Czechoslovakia, 1966

Blu-ray Special Edition

“This film is unique and creative and utterly hilarious... unlike any film that preceded it...
a giddy whirlwind of mayhem and bizarre hijinks”
Film Threat

From the director of the beloved Three Wishes for Cinderella, Václav Vorlíček’s Who Wants to Kill Jessie? is a delightfully demented, absurdist 1966 comic fantasy that is unlike anything else in the Czech New Wave - and presages the DC and Marvel comic-book franchises by several decades.

This world premiere, region-free Blu-ray edition presents the film from a new HD transfer, an early Václav Vorlíček short, a new and expansive video essay by Michael Brooke on crazy Czech comedies and more!

Wendy and Lucy
A film by Kelly Reichardt
USA, 2008

Blu-ray Special Edition

“As damning as any Ken Loach film, it preaches in a whisper, not a shout... Evanescent and intangible, it dissolves into the air, leaving something tragic and mysterious behind” L A Times

Kelly Reichardt's quietly devastating film marked her first collaboration with actor Michelle Williams, and is a moving meditation on resilience, reflecting the precarious lives that society often chooses to ignore, and the love that sustains them.

This region-free Blu-ray edition presents the film from a 2K transfer, a discussion about the film with Andrea Luka Zimmerman and So Mayer, plus a booklet featuring a new essay by Elena Gorfinkel.

Release Date: October 2025
