Sexmission beats easy most of today's woked to death works - and got more depth (veiled behind the curtain of pure comedy). Whereas a "modern" show like Y: The Last Man (with a similar premise) totally fails to entertain the audience and to create interesting characters or an interesting story line, Sexmission does all this with ease and got us laughing and smiling while teaching us something about human nature. Sexmission: a fine comedy and far closer to the nature of human beings, than those modern puristic prayers.
Plot summary
Two scientists are chosen as guinea pigs for a time experiment: they are placed in hibernation and should be brought back to life after three years. In the meantime, however, the World War III breaks out and life have been wiped out of the surface of the Earth. When they wake up, it turns out that not only 50 years have passed but also that they are the only living specimens of the male sex in a new, underground society composed exclusively of women. Max used to be woman-chaser so he finds himself in heaven. Albert, on the other hand, forgot all about love and sex as a serious scientist, but is willing to learn. So are the Amazons, who after a kiss turn into pliant kittens. The Council of Women is going to decide their fate, so they are trying to win more time.

Not very laughable if you put your mind to work
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.

Not bad for 1984
I wasn't expecting much from this movie, considering its age and subject matter, but I have to say I was entertained. It was funny to see what they thought the future would be like back then. The two guys I found quite funny, yes its a bit of stupid comedy, but if you like that kind of stuff, its a laugh. And the whole idea they had about what happens in the future , where there are not men anymore and only women, of course its ridiculous, but an entertaining plot.
