Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A couple of Polish guys are put into deep freeze for three years as an experiment, but things don't go quite as planned and they are thawed decades later when men have become extinct and women rule the world. The premise shows some promise for hilarity, a la Woody Allen's "Sleeper," but this one is completely devoid of laughs and it goes on forever. The comedy is so sophomoric that it makes The Three Stooges look like sophisticated Shakespearean actors. The sets and cinematography are so cheesy that it looks like a home movie made on a budget of about $1.98. Movies like this make one appreciate the fast forward button on the remote.
Making fun of the relation between men (more less male chauvinist) and women (who rules this new world) are well made. The end of the story took me by surprise more than once because I expected the movie to end at several times where, if the of movie had been removed, I would not have known. But it goes some step further. I am not in favor of censoring political movies, but this one had to go around the political censors and did it very good. Therefore, it is not easy to see that are making a satire about the regimes in Eastern Europe during the Cold War (1945-1989).I enjoyed it very much and will see again the next time I get a chance.
I must admit that I haven't seen many movies made in Poland (shame, but not many are played here...), but this one is a real gem, which achieved cult status in this region.The story is about two men who are hibernated for 3 years for showing "the victory of mankind over time", but wake up 53 years later in society ruled by women. Men are extinct, all living men were killed by a bomb and the surviving women have to leave under the Earth's surface in complexes. One of the women says: "Encounter with men are areal". Our heroes don't panic however... they have only one goal: re-establishing somehow the old regime. Not an easy task, considering they are the only men alive, surrounded by man-hating ("man-eating"), fanatic women whose goal is either to naturalize or to kill them.One can't forget that this movie was made in 1984 when communism was in its place and didn't seem to melt yet. Nowadays I wonder a bit that it was allowed to show in the cinemas, because this movie is a perfect satire of any totaliarist regime (including communism) and blind fanaticism. There is very subtle humor between the lines and this humor is what makes this movie a cult movie. However serious the theme, the movie catches the mood and the movements so easily and with such wit that you can't help but laugh. Making fun of something is the best way to criticize it and Seksmisja is a perfect example.This movie is highly recommended for anyone in the world. Seeing it only once isn't enough... to get the whole idea and the subtler humor, you have to watch it several times. If you want to enjoy it fully, get the original Polish version with subtitles."Someone hurts you? You're in trouble? You can count on Women's Council!"
If not even best polish movie? And it is one of the best sci-fi movies ever... Especially story line goes way ahead than many other movies out there nowadays... I saw this movie on art group, where it is compared with classics like Godfather (I), Citizen Kane etc. This one is one movie which stands out from the crowd.For sci-fi fans, it is must... But the story is so different from mainstream science fiction, that I believe "non sci-fi fans" can get something out of this, so don't miss!
