2 p. m. Sunday Cinematheque: Alain Tanner. Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000( Jonah Qui Aura 25 Ans En L’ an 2000), Switzerland, 1976, 35mm, 116 min., French with English subtitles. Director: Alain Tanner, cast: Myriam Boyer, Jean- Luc Bideau, Miou-Miou. A group of eight stubbornly nonconformist Genevans from different walks of life get together on a rural retreat to dream of a world that offers more than consumerist inducements in this, another of Tanner’ s string of’ 70s masterpieces. Co-written by Tanner and English writer John Berger, this redoubt for May 1968 ideals in the mid-’ 70s is that rare explicitly political film that doesn’ t reduce its characters to placeholders, a major work of postwar European cinema unforgivably out-of-print on domestic home video.

2 p. m. Sunday Cinematheque: Alain Tanner. La Salamandre. Switzerland, 1971, 35mm, 125 min., French with English subtitles. Director: Alain Tanner, cast: Bulle Ogier, Jean-Luc Bideau, Jacques Denis. Two journalists( Bideau and Denis), contracted to write a teleplay about an“ accidental” gun death, are drawn into perhaps too-intimate relationships with the surviving witness / suspect: an alluring, spontaneous workingclass girl, Rosemonde( the always extraordinary Ogier), who alone knows the truth of what happened. As an iron will towards liberation lies behind Rosemonde’ s fresh-faced prettiness, so a serious meditation on the pursuit of truth through fiction dwells behind the playful eroticism on the surface of Tanner’ s film.
