Product Details

Product Description

Amazon.ca

If Interiors was Woody Allen's Bergman movie, and Stardust Memories was his Fellini movie, then you could say that Sleeper is his Buster Keaton movie. Relying more on visual/conceptual/slapstick gags than his trademark verbal wit, Sleeper is probably the funniest of what would become known as Allen's "early, funny films" and a milestone in his development as a director. Allen plays Miles Monroe, cryogenically frozen in 1973 (he went into the hospital for an ulcer operation) and unthawed 200 years later. Society has become a sterile, Big Brother-controlled dystopia, and Miles joins the underground resistance--joined by a pampered rich woman (Diane Keaton at her bubbliest). Among the most famous gags are Miles's attempt to impersonate a domestic-servant robot; the Orgasmatron, a futuristic home appliance that provides instant pleasure; a McDonald's sign boasting how-many-trillions served; and an inflatable suit that provides the means for a quick getaway. The kooky unthawing scenes were later blatantly (and admittedly) ripped off by Mike Myers in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. --Jim Emerson

One of his best (when he was still funny). Fans would know this and don't need to read much more.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent movie
I love Woody Allen's 1970s movies. I think he is a genius or used to be. Not sure about him now though. But most of his 1970s movies are absolutely brilliant. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF WOODY ALLEN'S FUNNIEST MOVIES.
Woody Allen is a genius. And perhaps his best decade was the 1970's. His early movies were more joke oriented than his later movies, but even tough they have a lot of Woody's... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Woody Allen Splapstick on So-So DVD
Fans of Woody Allen's slapstick comedy should pick it up on this MGM DVD presentation.

The transfer looks a bit soft and grainy throughout the film, but still better than VHS. Read more
