Alain Tanner describes his funny, uplifting, freewheeling, indescribable Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 as “a dramatic tragi-comedy in political science-fiction.” This rich concoction of color, black and white, songs, skits, economics, dreams, sidebars, speeches, and sexual experimentation tells the story of eight veterans of 1968, stranded between revolution and accommodation, whose paths cross briefly in a search for a common purpose. The ensemble acting is fantastic, especially Jean-Luc Bideau as a disillusioned editor who has turned to roulette, Myriam Meziere as a secretary who likes her sex Tantric, Miou-Miou as a supermarket cashier who performs revolutionary acts with her cash register, and Jacques Denis as a highly unorthodox professor who sees history as a sausage.
