Three Wishes for Cinderella
(Tři oříšky pro Popelku)

A film by Václav Vorlíček
Czechoslovakia, 1973

Blu-ray Special Edition

“This proto-feminist take on the fairytale favourite offers a feisty cross-dressing heroine and a spoonful of sweetened socialism”
Pamela Hutchinson, Sight and Sound

Vorlíček's 1973 reworking of the classic Cinderella story is one of the most beloved films in all Central European cinema. Delightful and unconventional, Three Wishes for Cinderella places the familiar fairy tale into a wintry setting with down-to-earth characters and a feisty and rebellious Cinderella.

This Blu-ray Special Edition presents the film from the 4K restoration by the Czech National Film Archive, and includes a new appreciation by Michael Brooke, two additional early film versions of the Cinderella story, a booklet featuring an essay by Tim Lucas - and more!

The Hop-PIckers (Starci na chmelu)
A film by Ladislav Rychman
Czechoslovakia, 1964

Blu-ray Special Edition

“Easily one of the most enjoyable Eastern Bloc films of the 1960s... There is a place for it among today’s rediscovered classics” Jonathan Owen

The first ever Czechoslovak cult film musical, The Hop-Pickers was a sensation on its release, and its popularity has since endured for generations of Czech viewers.

Channelling the energy of the swinging ’60s with a distinctly Czech twist on the big-screen musical, The Hop-Pickers vibrantly blends music, dance, and audacious satire.

Our region-free Blu-ray is presented from a new 4K restoration from original materials held by the Czech National Film Archive.
