🎥 Who Wants to Kill Jessie? (1966, dir. Václav Vorlíček)
🎟️ £5 from Headfirst (see link in bio)
“Unique and creative and utterly hilarious… unlike any film that preceded it and way ahead of many similar films that would follow… a giddy whirlwind of mayhem and bizarre hijinks.” – Film Threat
Jessie, a comic book heroine, springs into real life after a scientist invents a serum to banish bad dreams. This deliriously demented gem explodes with speech bubbles, slapstick, and superhero chaos decades before DC and Marvel took over the screen.
Intertwining real and pop fantasy worlds, Who Wants to Kill Jessie? remains the greatest Czech superhero comedy ever made.
Thanks to for this new restoration
