SLEEPER
(1973, Woody Allen) Waking up in 2173, Woody’s Miles Monroe finds out his rent is “2000 months overdue” and he’s the only person alive without an identification number in what’s now a police state – and soon he’s on the run with rebel Diane Keaton. “You laugh all the way through and come out smiling and happy.” – Pauline Kael. 35mm. Approx. 89 min.
