Slovak Film News: Second Run 2015 Releases of Slovak Treasures

    Dear colleagues and friends,

    it is with great pleasure we announce that a key film from Slovak cinema’s Golden Era & one of the most exciting discoveries in all of Slovak cinema – DRAGON´S RETURN (CS, 1967) by Eduard Grečner was released at UK´s Second Run. It is its fourth title of the Slovak classics series. 

    "A beautifully poetic piece, big on atmosphere and intense psychological reflection… Another truly special film from a truly special time"
    Bonjour Tristesse"Fans of 60s Slovak cinema should need no further persuading, and for those of you who have yet to experience its varied and often thrilling delights, this is a damn fine place to start... for those who thrill at discovering films from years past that leave much of what we tend to be served up today looking flat and unadventurous, this is another must-have from this most dedicated of UK distributors. Highly recommended."

    The DVD presents the film from a superb new high definition digital transfer, and is available 
    on the website of Second RunDragon´s Return on AmazonDragon´s Return on Zavvi. We also want to let you know that later this year Dušan Hanák´s exceptional documentaryPICTURES OF THE OLD WORLD – rated by critics as the best Slovak film of all time – came out on Second Run DVD.
