“It’s grammatically incorrect to say ‘most unique’, but all rules of grammar, and I guess anything else, are suspended when talking about Diane Keaton. Unlike anyone the planet has experienced or is unlikely to ever see again, her face and laugh illuminated any space she entered.”
Screened in tribute to Diane Keaton (1946 - 2025)
Woody Allen stars as Miles Monroe, a clarinet player-cum-health food store-owner in NYC's Greenwich Village, who 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. A coward through and through, Miles promptly goes on the run, which is when he becomes entangled with beautiful wealthy socialite, Luna (Diane Keaton - as brilliant as ever)... After staring with Diane Keaton in 1972’s Play It Again, Sam, Woody Allen went on to make another seven films with Diane Keaton, Sleeper being one of the finest and funniest of his “early funny films.”
