Tomorrow I’ll Wake Up and Scald Myself with Tea (Polak, 1977): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.40pm

This film also screens on November 25th and is part of the Time Travel season at BFI Southbank.

BFI introduction: Karel Bures works for Universum, a time travel agency. When Karel chokes to death one morning on a bread roll, his twin brother Jan takes his place at work hoping to travel back in time and save his brother. Instead, he finds himself in an insane plot to give Adolf Hitler an A-Bomb and to alter the outcome of the Second World War. An absurd convoluted, constantly surprising cult gem.
