Miles, a nebbishy clarinet player who also runs a health food store in NYC's Greenwich Village, is cryogenically frozen, and brought back - 200 years in the future, by anti-government radicals in order to assist them in their attempt to overthrow the oppressive government. When he goes off on his own, he begins to explore this brave new world, which has Orgasmatron booths to replace sex and confessional robots.
Directed by Woody Allen

    “Sleeper” uses the future to explore tough subjects like revolutionary efforts in the face of tyranny and comedy to make it easier to digest. However, the film uses a silent comedian style for its physical comedy and gags. However, the film lacks the timing of the silent stars, and these scenes move slowly.

    A film set 200 years in the future while aping the cinema of the silent era with Woody Allen's shtick thrown in. It's uniqueness was its main draw. For me though, the music grated, the one-liners grated and the whole thing felt like it was agreed when someone was out the room. The last 20 minutes kinda worked but it wasn't enough.
