Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 200
“Once in a great while, a narrative fiction work catches the trajectory of the times. The sixties' tumult and passion left little room for reflection, for pause. With the exceptions of Godard, Gorin, Kramer, Pasolini, and some others, most radical filmmakers avoided the fiction form. We turn now to Alain Tanner and critic/novelist John Berger, working from a European perspective, to learn about ourselves. Unlike their counterparts in The Big Chill, the characters in Jonah look and act as if they were part of the sixties. We know them and their stumbling honest charm as they, beached and cast adrift in a new decade, go about the business of sorting out their lives. The barnyard may become a schoolyard, but Jonah's birth will still be in the belly of the whale. T
