SearchWho Wants to Kill Jessie?29th October 2006 Highly Recommended
The delightful, gentle Who Wants to Kill Jessie? is a 1966 Czech fantasy that captures a wonderful spirit of comic-book innocence. It has been making the rounds of the repertory theaters in recent years after a long life as an obscure title in science fiction reference books. Director V clav Vorl cek finds just the right note of droll foolishness to develop a one-joke idea into a satisfying screwball comedy. Peeking through the constant visual gags are some worthwhile ideas about the relationship of fantasy to human ingenuity. As its key invention is a device that can display a persons dreams on a television screen, Who Wants to Kill Jessie? predates the computerized mind-tap concept of Wim Wenders Until the End of the World.
