Who Wants to Kill Jessie?

1966 · 81 min

A giddy, gag-stuffed romp where comic-book chaos spills into drab everyday life, playful and silly but never mean.

Tagline: A comedy about a prohibited beauty.
Overview: 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!
How it feels: Whimsical, absurd, satirical and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Technology, identity, media, love
Content: Mild violence and sexual content. No gore or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
