From Jindrich Polák, director of the 1963 Czech sci-fi classic Ikarie XB-1, comes another foray into science-fiction with this lesser known but equally impressive feature Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea. But unlike the serious hard sci-fi approach of Ikarie, this film is a deliciously demented time-travel romp that manages to be both hilariously silly and impressively ingenious at the same time. In the near-future, time travel has become a possibility, and a group of neo-Nazi's hijack a time-ship in order to go back to 1944 to deliver a hydrogen bomb to Hitler and thus secure victory in WWII. Polák expertly balances the film's disparate elements to produce a work of immense pleasure which is unpredictable, irreverent, intelligent and wildly funny - and which emerges one of the great undiscovered sci-fi movies of the 1970s.

One of the most original Czech films and at the same time a successful comedy working with elements of a time paradox when traveling through time long before the Back to the Future trilogy was created. Great actors (it is difficult to highlight someone, because even the barks were played by first-class actors such as Marie Rosůlková or Otto Šimánek in the roles of American tourists). However, Petr Kostka simply excels in his dual role of identical twins. Perhaps only the resemblance of Hitler and his suit could have been closer to the originals. I dare to say that if something similar had been created in a major American studio, it would have made a significant impact on film history. Overall impression: 85%.

I love these mad Czech comedies. The actors outdo each other in great performances, with catchphrase after catchphrase, and the story entertains just by the sheer pace and vigour with which it takes the viewer by storm. The well-established duo Sovák & Menšík is this time significantly supported (and perhaps even outdone) by the excellent Petr Kostka, who really enjoys one of his greatest roles. All the crazy stuff happens at the expense of the creativity and sometimes even the quality of the narrative, but it doesn’t affect much the level of entertainment (and that's the primary point).
