Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000

Dir. Alain Tanner, 1976, Switzerland, France, 110min, DCP
Starring Jean-Luc Bideau, Myriam Boyer, Miou-Miou

“What was May ‘68 to you?” The film with which Tanner is most inextricably linked seems more extraordinary with each passing year, as the idealism of May ‘68 and its hangover is enacted generationally by groups of friends, couples, activists and fellow travelers. Outside Geneva, a group gathers to take stock of how they got where they are and where they are going. Tanner and frequent collaborator John Berger create a group of recognizable characters, each individually drawn, with humor and heartbreak.

Version restauree/Restored Version

Whenever Version restaurée appears in a festival program guide, trailer (bande-annonce), or before the start of a film, it indicates a new and exciting chance to revisit a beloved classic, or make a significant discovery. In recent years, extraordinary ‘restored versions’, particularly from the French speaking world, have been made available by archives, cinémathèques, rights holders and studios. Most of these restorations have never screened in the U.S., and in some cases, haven’t been shown since their original release, if ever released in the U.S. at all.

For the Fall 2024 season, L’Alliance New York presents an expansive series consisting exclusively of New York, U.S. and world premieres of Version restaurée films. Running from September 10 to December 17, the series will comprise over twenty features and short films from France, Senegal, Tunisia, Switzerland, Burkina Faso, and the Louisiana Bayou, including a 1929 muet (Gaston Modot’s Conte Cruel) to a masterpiece of the new century (Godard’s Éloge de l’amour), and films by Frederick Wiseman, Marguerite Duras, Fernando Arrabal, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Christian-Jacque, Jacques Deray, Yolande Zauberman, Samba Félix Ndiaye and Jean Cocteau.
