Sleeper
Woody Allen / US, 1973 / 86 min.
A science fiction satire and screwball comedy about the future. It even includes Dixieland music. Woody Allen plays the nerdy Miles Monroe, a jazz clarinet player and the owner of a health food shop who wakes up in a dystopic future in the year 2173.
A musician awakes from cryogenic sleep after what he thought was a routine operation for a stomach ulcer to be viewed as a subversive alien fugitive by the totalitarian government and as the messiah by the rebels.
