Sexmission (1984)

This movie did not played in Romanian cinemas before 1990 , and this is not for a few female nudes here and there is because our censorship was more rabid more attentive to every tiny detail , after all they were people who red Kant,Dante,Kierkegard,Camus,Ovid.....but on the other side they were applying torturing methods that made marquis de Sade looks like an diletttante . Don't expect to laugh like crazy .... Those two scientists they found themselves in a totally different era there MISSINFORMATION rules as it did very well in other decades of history , whatever you call it communism,dictatorship,democracy,feudalism THE MOB does not have to know too much , not to think , they are other people who are doing .....THE THINKING. The mob is got one big responsibility : to obey the ruling class , not to criticize even if is an insignificant thing .I said that maybe is not much to laugh about it in the first half , after all the two scientists are terrorized , beaten up by a bunch of brain-washed , insensitive , cruel women.They were educated that man is a mistake of nature , entire history was changed (even Bible) to fit NEW AGE ERA ...as somebody said is not BIG BROTHER now is BIG SISTER and the year this movie was released is 1984!!!!!!!! Too much of a coincidence ! Why I said is visionary is that is applying to modern days , there people are monitored , telephone calls tapped and so on....in the name of national security you can do whatever , it does not matter that they are thrashing the human rights . Anyway they were never been respected , same as Geneva Convention . But this movie is got a happy-end unlike 1984 , I am still amazed that they were able to run that movie into cinemas in the eighties.They were so many hints towards totalitarian regimes , after all. It is worth watching , definitely.

Female society devoid of any representatives of the opposite sex (but is it really so?) is running the anti-male underground world with the help of science. Two men are going to change it forever.Being a post-apocalyptic feature, the movie delivers tons of jokes. It is not a feast of low-quality vulgar sexual innuendoes so frequent in the modern movies, though, judging by the title one can make such assumption. "Sexmission" is full of light-hearted humour interwoven with deep psychological insight and even prophesy. If it is not enough, there are beautiful sets and costumes. The quality of the production amazes me. I expected it to be a low-budget childish comedy shot on a paper set but it turns out to be a high-tech thought-provoking sci-fi with an artistic concept and a wonderful hand-made background.While it is a Polish movie, I think that during its translation into English lots of slight "shadow" meanings of the genuine cutting remarks will be lost, while Russian as an example does a perfect job. Such phrases as "babskiy tribunal" are perfect translations.This movie reminded me of the following cult dramas: "Underground", "Road Warrior", and "Planet of the Apes". But as to this one, I don't remember last time laughing throughout the whole picture. This movie turned my usual evening into amazing experience.I've got four films by this director in my home DVD collection already and they all are outstanding comedies.10 out of 10. Thank you for attention.

As I'm Polish I've got the possibility of enjoying every single word and dialog in this outstanding movie and somehow relating it to Polish stereotypes and history... but I really do think that 'Sexmission' will be just as hilarious to everyone... =) The plot, the action, the characters played by unrivaled actors make this movie definitely worth watching - and it makes you die with laughter =). It's number one of all the comedies I've seen, even though I've seen it hundreds of times =). Watching the poor men being woken up in the world of women and trying to catch on the situation...well it's something to see, really =)))!

It's showing at the Everyman soonSexmission, Juliusz Machulski's sexy second feature, is a cult Polish comedy, whose dialogues and lines have entered into every day language. Two men kept in hibernation for 50 years learn that they are the only living specimens of the male sex in a new, underground society run by the League of Women's Lib. The female archeologist who digs them up hypothesises she has found the missing link between women and apes.The heroes facing harsh treatment from their female guards will do anything to save their skin and to re-establish the male population.This highly original sci-fi story with a twist and great performances by Poland's top actors is one of the most popular Polish movies of all times.
