2 p . m . Sunday Cinematheque : Alain Tanner . Charles , Dead or Alive ( Charles , Mort Ou Vif ). Switzerland , 1969 , 35mm , 93 min ., French with English subtitles . Director : Alain Tanner , cast : François Simon , Marcel Robert , Marie-Claire Dufour . Tanner ’ s coruscating debut introduces a figure who will recur throughout his body of work : the individual who , confronting an insupportable social reality , decides instead to launch himself into the unknown without a safety net . In this case , the insubordinate is Simon ’ s small factory owner , who , faced with perfect middle-class comfort and no end in sight , decides to detonate his cookie-cutter existence . No mere sloganeering radical , Tanner here already shows himself acutely aware of the emotional cost of resistance , drawing blood with his bold opening shot .

Director : Alain Tanner , cast : Olimpia Carlisi , Philippe Léotard , Juliet Berto . After the glad-handing , married Swiss politician Paul ( Léotard ) falls for an emotionally withdrawn Italian café waitress ( Carlisi ), his campaign goes into a subsequent tailspin . Tanner stages the fallout in strikingly stark , formal style , with Brechtian breaks including interstitial date-keeping cartoons , disjunctive landscape shots , and musical interludes by Patrick Moraz . Middle of the World is among Tanner ’ s most radical films in terms of form , and also among his angriest .

Director : Alain Tanner , cast : Clémentine Amouroux , Catherine Rétoré , Franziskus Abgottspon . A project taken over from Maurice Pialat , Messidor has as its basis a true story which was a sensation of 1970s France : a crime spree by two young girls and its terminal conclusion . Keenly interested as ever in drop-outs and exiles , Tanner tracks the flight of the fierce female fugitives through an Alpine Switzerland — which has here taken on a heavy , sinister air — holding their own against masculine menace while on a winding road to nowhere .

2 p . m . Sunday Cinematheque : Alain Tanner . In the White City ( Dans La Ville Blanche ), Switzerland , 1983 , 35mm , 108 min ., German , Portuguese , French , with English subtitles . Director : Alain Tanner , cast : Bruno Ganz , Teresa Madruga , Julia Vonderlinn . In a filmography filled with unreconciled rebels seeking solitude , few Tanner characters go so far in that direction as the enigmatic sailor Paul ( Ganz ), who leaves behind his life and his wife to jump ship in Lisbon and dissolve himself into the city . Tanner , master of experimental self-reinvention , here mixes sumptuous images of Paul ’ s nocturnal wandering with those of his cryptic Super-8 “ letters ” home , in the process creating a hypnotic , sensual vision of urban anomie .
