I purchased this DVD Sleeper and we found out that there are none of the English subtitles and closed caption. Amazon gave us the wrong information what they said there is closed caption and English subtitle for this DVD Sleeper. We love this hilarious film "Sleeper." We were deeply disappointed that there is no English subtitles and no closed caption on this DVD. So, we returned the DVD back and refunded. Right now we are searching for DVD "Sleeper" with the closed caption or English subtitles. We are hearing impaired humanoid aliens from the outer space, and so, we recognized the written English languages instead of listening to those many strange languages in this fragmented world.

I first saw "Sleeper" in the theater when it was first released at Christmastime 1973. I was 18 at the time, Well I'm 64 now and I got it DVD and I appreciate even more. Woody Allen wrote along with Marshall Brickman and directed and stars along with the lovely Diane Keaton. Woody Allen plays Miles Monroe who runs a health food store in Greenwich Village in 1973 who dies on the operating table after a "minor" operation and is cyrogenically frozen and thawed out 200 years in the future. Miles wakes up to a society run by a dictator known only as , "The Leader." And Miles finds out junk food is actually good for you, encounters robot housekeepers, a chicken the size of an elephant,(Miles response "That's a big chicken.") Also Miles discovers some gigantic vegetables, sees a newspaper headline that reads "Popes' wife gives birth to twins" and finds a 200 Volkswagen Beetle that still runs. He also grabs a burger at McDonald's,(check out the McDonald's sign.)
Diane Keaton plays his new lady friend named "Luna" and they join a rebellion against the government led by John Beck who Miles is jealous of. Says to Luna " Is he going to take his handsome lessons ?" The slapstick jazz music is by Woody Allen's jazz band. The extra is the trailer which is pretty funny too, a kinda of interview with Woody Allen about "Sleeper." I also got this DVD for my sister Teresa and we never get tired of watching it. The tagline for the movie poster read "Woody Allen takes a nostalgic look at the future !"

Great movie. Classic. But here is why I returned it. If you use the Amazon APP to buy it, there is NO NOTICE that this is for Region 2 (Playback Region B/2 :This will not play on most Blu-ray players sold in North America). If you use the Amazon website, there IS this notice. May be a fault of Amazon rather than the supplier. Regardless, I now need to pay for USPS envelope, go to the PO, and return it. So 4* for the movie, 1* for the product as represented. I am giving this 1* so the app listing gets updated. AND, by the way, the DVD packaging does NOT show the region as well (it should), so you will find out only after you have opened everything, thrown paper away, and tried to play it.

The Orgasmatron, the Orb, and University Degrees in Cosmetic Sexual Technique and Poetry.
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020Verified Purchase
I saw this film in 1974 as a 13 year old and couldn't stop laughing. Forty six years later I'm still laughing. Along with Barbra Streisand's "What's Up Doc?", the early 70s films were in a league of their own. Who knew that in 2173 there would be so many time saving inventions like the orgasmatron, the orb and robotic domestic servants provided by Domesticon? Sight gags are prevalent throughout the film including a gay couple having a gay Domesticon man servant with an attitude. A college education even provided degrees in Cosmetic Sexual Technique and Poetry. It's a fast paced movie with never a dull moment.

Many of you already know this is a hilarious, silly, slap-stick, satirical comedy, with a toe-tapping jazz accompaniment to its many silent comedy sketches, so rather than commenting on that, here is the underlying story . . . .
For Dr. Orva and other members of the underground movement, the year 2173 brings no joy. They're unhappy with the government of the American Federation, and in particular, the Leader - who's smiling, paternal countenance can be found everywhere. Belying his apparent benevolence, under his rule, if any citizen, should have the audacity to think, say, or do anything not approved of by the government, will be labeled an "alien" and have their brain electronically simplified . . . .
Recently, the underground had sniffed out the name of a new secret project the government had instigated: Project AIRES; is it a plan to eradicate the underground? It is going to be difficult to find out - the government knows everything about its citizens, tracks their movements, and monitors their actions - what they need is someone with no identity . . . .
Luckily one of their members, while on a field trip, found a 200 year old cryogenic, life-preserving chamber containing a man - a man with no identity! Dr. Orva and a small team illegally reanimate the bespectacled Miles Monroe, but discover the cynical young Miles wants no part of their plan and their time to convince him runs out when the police arrive . . . .
For Luna the year 2173 brings the simple joy of endless house parties to recite her poetry to her artistic guests, but her carefree life is about to change when she finally realizes her new robot servant is the wild-haired Miles Monroe . . . .
Blu-ray - 2013. Sharpness, color, contrast, & brightness: good, but grainy. Sound volume normal, clarity excellent. Subtitles: English & Spanish only; French subtitles are "not included." Extra: movie trailer.

One of the funniest and silliest movies of all time.
If you don't like this movie, there is something wrong with you.
I remember seeing this as a kid. It was pretty funny. As an adult, I realize the lines and humor that I missed as a kid - so it's a whole new movie for me.
"Would you like to perform sex with me?"
"I'm not really up for a performance. How about just a rehearsal?" - comic genius!!

"I beat a man insensible with a strawberry...."
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 9, 2016Verified Purchase
Allen wakes up in 2173, having been accidentally frozen for 200 years (or as his character says; "204, if you count my marriage" ). Clever and funny, which isn't always an easy combination to pull off, it is filled with great one liners, sight gags and physical comedy.
Having gone into hospital for a routine operation, Miles Munroe wakes up to find to find his library books are rather overdue. More than that, the world is now ruled by an evil dictator (or his nose anyway). Allen becomes a member of the anti-government underground, with a plan to capture the said snout, however Miles is captured and brain-washed into thinking he's Miss Montana in an American Beauty pageant. It is up to "poet" Luna (Diane Keaton - who does a good job keeping up with Allen in all the madness) to save the day.
Along the way, the film is full of clever ideas (the robotic jewish tailors, the ineffective guard dog, "rags", the "orb" and, of course, the "orgasmatron"). The film is also packed with beautiful physical comedy and sight gags, including the badly behaved pudding, the giant chicken and Allen as the robot waiter.
This also seems to be a be a loving homage to earlier silent films, with Allen pursued by the secret police (and a giant chicken!) and there is even a giant banana skin gag!
With a fun, old time jazz soundtrack, it is brilliant, madcap fun. Still my favourite Woody Allen film, recommended.

Sleeper.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 21, 2021Verified Purchase
One of Woody Allen`s earlier comedies - this one a satirical science fiction parody; it has rather more slapstick and absurdity to it than some of his other (and later) movies, but it`s lasted well and still entertains.
This was one of the earliest of his films I remember seeing in the cinema and I still enjoy watching it when I get the opportunity.
The standard UK DVD issue has English subtitles available if required and a selection of foreign-language soundtrack options; as with all of Allen`s films there are no extras.

Futuristic Woody
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 21, 2012Verified Purchase
Woody transports his neuroses to the 22nd century in this imaginative offering from the mid-1970s.
Cryogenically frozen after a minor surgical procedure went wrong, Woody's character, Miles Monro, wakes 200 years later to find that the former US is now ruled by a despot (or at least, by a small part of him) and that the brainwashed population live in a comfortable, aimless Big Brother-type of society.
While trying to come to terms with this strange world he tangles romantically with vacuous, talentless poet Luna (Keaton) and comically falls in with a rebel underground movement, finding himself at the heart of a ludicrous plot to overthrow the incumbent regime.
Slapstick is the order of the day throughout and Woody's fondness for the Marx Brothers and silent comedy comes to the fore in many scenes. He also takes the opportunity to display his talent for manual dexterity and magic tricks.
The juxtaposing of futuristic sets and costumes against Woody's 1970s morés makes the humour seem more absurd and works well as a medium to parody various 20th century cultural references (Orwell, banana republics and false standards among many). He manages also to take a swipe at Nixon, a hot topic at the time of the film's release and throws in a few old gems about Jewish tailors.
Woody himself plays the musical score on his clarinet.
DVD quality excellent.

Absurdly funny. Woody Allen doesn't get better than this.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2015Verified Purchase
This film is Woody Allen at his very, very best. It is not overtly dark or subtle, but it is painfully silly and stupidly funny in a way that films just aren't any more. He writes, directs and stars, also playing clarinet on the soundtrack with the legendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band and the equally famous (to those that know) New Orleans Funeral Band. The soundtrack is easily enough reason to buy this film on its own, but add to that the caracature of the future as envisioned in 1973 (complete with reel to reel tapes on computers with many coloured flashing lights, and a joke that sounds a lot like a description of the Atkins diet) and you'll start to understand why this should be your favourite film involving a 10ft banana and cars without wheels. This film has an unbounded sense of absurdity: Charlie Chaplin meets The Prisoner via the school playground. What Clockwork Orange does for violence and Beethoven, Sleeper does for slapstick and New Orleans Jazz.

Worth a go, even if you're not an Allen fan.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2016Verified Purchase
saw this at the Cinema a few years after release, it has some great lines, & shows Woody Allen's Stand-up credentials. It's a little dated, but that's part of the charm, there are some very funny scenes, & some not so funny. At the end of the day, Allen was in his element at this time, & Annie Hall which I saw at the same time as Sleeper is really the pinnacle of the one-liner Woody Allen Movies. Sleeper is worth a go - the Giant Banana is funny, the orgasmatron isn't.
