"Divine comic madness! Sleeper isian inspired work!" -The Hollywood Reporter
Drawing on the great tradition of silent comedy, Sleeper is Woody Allen's first film to tame his verbal wit and showcase his emerging skill with visual and physical comedy. Starring Diane Keaton (directed by Allen for the first time), Sleeper is "a bizarre mixture of New York neuroses, splendidly lunatic sight gags, Alice-in-Wonderland illogic, and too-funny-to-be-painful satire" (Los Angeles Herald-Examiner)!
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 disembodies 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.

- 3 out of 5 (11/29/2000)
In the film, 1973 health-food store operator Miles Monroe (Allen) is put away in (follow this) hyper-sleep-by-hospital-accident for 200 years. When his body is found wrapped-up in aluminum foil like (what was the early version at the time of) a frozen TV dinner, it takes a while to revive him. When he finally does awake, he'll wish he could go back to sleep!
In this not so brave new world, men and women are only sexual through some technological means (think cyber sex without the internet),
