You love your time travel films? Maybe check out Jindřich Polák‘s deliciously demented time-travel comedy Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (Zítra vstanu a opařím se čajem). Second Run films are set to give this absurd undiscovered sci-fi comedy a release on Blu-ray and DVD in January.
Sometime in the near future, time travel is a reality, and a group of neo-Nazi’s hijack a rocket to return to
1944. They plan to deliver a hydrogen bomb to Hitler, ensuring a victorious outcome to WWII, but their
meticulous plans are fatally derailed by a stale bread roll…
From Jindřich Polák, director of the sci-fi classic Ikarie XB1, comes this deliciously demented time-travel romp. Bursting with ingenious ideas, the film is unpredictable, irreverent and wildly funny. A deliriously absurd gem (which has something of a cult reputation in the UK following an unscheduled one-off screening on late-night TV in the early 80s), Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea emerges now as one of the great undiscovered sci-fi movies of the 1970s.
Blu-ray and DVD Special features:
• Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea presented from a new HD transfer from
original materials by the Czech National Film Archive.
• An all-new Projection Booth commentary with Kat Ellinger, Jonathan Owen and Mike White.
• Original Czech theatrical trailer.
• Booklet featuring a new essay by writer and filmmaker Graham Williamson.
• New and improved English subtitle translation.

Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (Zítra vstanu a opařím se čajem) will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD from 25th January 2021.
