Jonah, Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 / Jonas qui aura vingt-cinq ans en l'an 2000
France/Switzerland | 1976 | col | 116 mins | dir. Alain Tanner, with Jean-Luc Bideau, Myriam Boyer, Jacques Denis
A funny and warm polemical comedy looking at the period post May '68 when it was still possible to think that the radical idealism of the student protests would finally take form in the world. Eight people - an office worker, a labourer and his wife, a smallholder and his wife, a teacher, a supermarket cashier and a journalist - are drawn together in Geneva in an attempt to find an alternative way of life, beyond the grip of capitalism.
