"Jonah Will Be 25 In The Year 2000" is an interesting attempt to make a modern philosophical film, loaded with ideas and polemics. You can find traces of Luis Bunuel (in the surrealistic passages), of Jean-Luc Godard (in its political charge), of Robert Altman (in the way multiple characters randomly cross each other's paths and make connections), and perhaps of others in it, but writer-director Alain Tanner manages to blend all those influences into a unique package that's quite unlike anything else. There are some wonderful scenes, like the lesson in "time". Entire cast is very good, but Miou Miou is particularly enchanting. *** out of 4.
