Kill the Referee

When a referee calls a penalty that causes a French football team to crash out of the championship, their ultra-dedicated hooligan fans vow to track him down and murder him by the end of the evening, as Inspector Granowski (played by director Jean-Pierre Mocky) attempts to stem the carnage. With an unrelenting one-night narrative recalling After Hours and Green Room, Kill the Referee mixes black humour with horror as its escalating sense of dread builds toward a shattering climax.BLU-RAY SPECIAL FEATURES:New 4K restoration, available on Blu-ray (1080p) for the first time outside of FranceUncompressed mono PCM audioNewly filmed interview with journalist and broadcaster Philippe Auclair on Kill the Referee (2024, 17 mins)Interview with Mocky’s assistant Eric Leroy on Kill the Referee (2022, 14 mins)Television reportage from the set of Kill the Referee (1983, 5 mins) Archival French TV intervirew with Jean-Pierre Mocky (1987, 18 mins)New and improved optional English subtitlesSleeve featuring newly commissioned artwork by Time Tomorrow
