Description

Set at an unspecified past time in a world ruled by superstition, a reclusive potter nicknamed ‘Dragon’, is exiled from his isolated homestead. He returns years later, aiming to win back the trust of the villagers - but faces suspicion, guilt, and simmering violence. A key film from Slovak cinema’s golden era, Eduard Grečner’s film is a radical fusion of ancient folklore and experimental modernism. Shot in luminous monochrome and boasting an extraordinary score by Ilja Zeljenka, it is an elemental vision of a world lost in time. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS * Dragon's Return (Drak sa vracia, 1967) presented from an HD transfer of the new 2K restoration supervised by the Slovak Film Institute. * On ‘Dragon’s Return’ (2022): a new and exclusive documentary on the film, with the special participation of director Eduard Grečner. * A newly filmed introduction by Rastislav Steranka of the Slovak Film Institute. * An exclusive, archival filmed appreciation of the film by Czech and Slovak cinema expert Peter Hames (2015). * 20-page booklet featuring an essay on the film and an interview with Eduard Grečner by author Jonathan Owen. * New and improved English subtitle translations. * World premiere on Blu-ray. * Region Free (A/B/C) Blu-ray.
