Czechoslovak composer and master of musical innovation Zdeněk Liška profiled in today's Guardian. Many of the titles mentioned - and more! - are (coincidentally) available from Second Run. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...

Ahead of our new Blu-ray release of WENDY AND LUCY on 6th October, here's director Kelly Reichardt and actor Michelle Williams talking about the film following it's 2008 premiere at the New York Film Festival. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNOM...

"Extraordinary fusions of science fiction and farce [...] the whole film becomes a successful allegory for the triumph of imagination over bureaucracy, and more importantly it’s incredibly funny" The Geek Show on Vorliček’s irresistable WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE? thegeekshow.co.uk/who-wants-to...

A selection of terrific artworks for WHO WANTS TO KILL JESSIE? posters and ads from it's releases around the world. In Italy it was released theatrically in 1967 as 'Superman vuole uccidere Jessie' (‘Superman Wants to Kill Jessie’) - as if in answer to the film's quizzical title.

"Enigmatic yet deeply impactful... Driven by a truly fantastic lead performance […] If ISHANOU is in conversation with any classic of Indian cinema, it’s Satyajit Ray’s Devi, another surprisingly neorealist film about the mysteries of faith" @thegeekshow.bsky.social thegeekshow.co.uk/ishanou-1990/

"Its restoration and release mark not just a rediscovery, but a resurrection. In a cinematic landscape increasingly cluttered with noise, ISHANOU offers stillness and in that stillness, something sacred" 5-star review at CinemasOnline cinemas-online.co.uk/reviews/6838...

Aribam Syam Sharma's ISHANOU is OUT TODAY on Blu-ray! Restored in 4K, this poignant, poetic film steeped in Manipuri culture has a spellbinding authenticity. www.secondrundvd.com/release_isha... Amazon UK tinyurl.com/mujy7rsw @rarewaves.bsky.social @diabolikdvd.bsky.social @orbitdvd.bsky.social

Honestly @secondrun.bsky.social never miss. Really loved taking a break from moving stress to watch Juraj Herz's decadent period piece. Incase you missed the wave of reviews on release, it's not too late to grab a copy of this striking film.

"Less flamboyant and outwardly more conventional than Juraj Herz’s best-known work, this period drama has plenty to offer [...] Second Run’s disc is the most impressive looking Juraj Herz Blu-ray to date"@marbleicehook.bsky.social on OIL LAMPS in Sight and Sound www.secondrundvd.com/images/pdf/o...

My contributor copies of ISHANOU arrived today. My @secondrun.bsky.social debut. Delighted I was able to write for this home video Blu-ray release of a brilliantly understated gem from Manipur, India.

ARIBAM SYAM SHARMA: A GENIUS IN THE WORLD OF INDIAN CINEMA Ahead of our release his gorgeous, award-winning film ISHANOU, an introduction to the great Manipur filmmaker Aribam Syam Sharma imphalreviews.in/aribam-syam-...

"A great little movie that deserves a place in the canon of high-concept science fiction. [...] It’s funny, it’s sad, it’s disturbing and frightening… it’s all the food groups, really. Massive recommendation" Piotr Szulkin's bleak, unique GOLEM @freqzine.bsky.social freq.org.uk/reviews/golem/

"Second Run’s new Blu-ray release does justice to this underseen masterwork... OIL LAMPS is an essential rediscovery. It’s a film of smothered passion, exquisite detail, and a slow descent into spiritual ruin" Dave Lancaster reviews at Cinemas Online cinemas-online.co.uk/reviews/6811...
