Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000

Back by popular request! With his high-spirited, joyously political tales of intelligent people in curious interaction, Alain Tanner effectively put the Swiss cinema on the map. Jonah, scripted by Tanner and John Berger, is the hilarious tragedy of eight survivors of the '60s: a film of realities and hopes, in the form of an unborn baby; of country dinners and imaginatively-served-up economic theory; of small moments and broad ideas; of remarkable individuals (in brilliant ensemble acting), and a whole revolutionary generation.
