Sleeper

When cryogenically preserved Miles Monroe (Allen) is awakened 200 years after a hospital mishap, he discovers the future’s not so bright: All women are frigid, all men are impotent, and the world is ruled by an evil dictator: a disembodied nose! Pursued by the secret police and recruited by anti-government rebels with a plan to kidnap the dictator’s snout before it can be cloned, Miles falls for the beautiful – but untalented – poet Luna (Diane Keaton).

But when Miles is captured and reprogrammed by the government to believe he’s Miss America, it’s up to Luna to save Miles, lead the rebels and cut off the nose...just to spite its face.

  It been a long time ...
  
  I couldn't wait to see sleeper again. It must have been 15 years ago or even longer when I first saw it. I thought it was hilarious.

  Great Romp of Slapstick Humour
  
  Refreshingly funny and outrageous the political satire was not penetrating or substantial enough for this film of slapstick hilarity to leave a deeper ... read more »

  First time I've seen it since the 70's - just as fresh, funny and original as it was then, with 'silent film' interludes clearly inspired by ... read more »

Whatever Happened to Woody Allen?
- 21 May 2008
He's made (at least!) a film a year since 1970, a record that's all the more remarkable when you realise that he's written and directed all of them, and starred in most. They include some of the best-loved and most quoted comedies in cinema history: Annie Hall, Manhattan and Hannah and Her Sisters take some beating, and that's to ignore "the early, funny ones" (Sleeper, Love and Death, Bananas); the lovely miniatures from what I consider his finest period (the early 80s gave us Broadway Danny...
