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 .
