Who Wants to Kill Jessie?
A comedy about a prohibited beauty.
Directed by Václav Vorlíček
Produced by Filmové studio Barrandov
A gleefully absurdist Czechoslovakian romp where a dream-projection machine malfunction unleashes cartoon chaos into reality, blending sci-fi premise with slapstick comedy and surreal visual gags.
In this zany Czechoslovakian comedy, a scientist invents a machine that projects a sleeping person's dream on a screen; disaster soon follows when the machine malfunctions and the cartoon-like dream characters become very real!
