Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea

British label Second Run will release on Blu-ray Jindrich Polák's Tomorrow I'll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (1977), starring Petr Kostka, Jirí Sovák, Vladimír Mensík, Vlastimil Brodský, and Marie Rosulková. The release will be available for purchase on January 25.

Synopsis: From Jindřich Polák, director of the sci-fi classic Ikarie XB 1, comes another foray into science-fiction with this lesser known but equally impressive feature. 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.
