1969 | Saturday Nite at the Movies
Jun 1
9:00PM - Midnight
Loria Center | Room: 250 — 190 York St.
In recognition of who we are – and why we are on campus – Dudley Andrew, A. Seldon Rose Professor of Film and Comparative Literature, will screen Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 (1976), a collaborative film by famed director Alain Tanner and novelist John Berger. Made in the aftermath of the intense, theatrical, and utopian political upheavals of the late 1960s, Jonah is Tanner and Berger’s vision of how these children of the Revolution made a kind of peace with their present, while looking to a transcendent future that would emerge from the failed and disappointing past.
Prof. Andrew recommends that attendees “prepare” by viewing Lawrence Kasdan’s The Big Chill, his 1983 (future-star-studded) confection about reconciling the lives we anticipate with the lives we end up living; and (if you can find it) the possible inspiration for The Big Chill, John Sayles’ Return of the Secaucus Seven (1979). More information about Jonah, and about Professor Andrew, can be found on the Class website (www.yale69.org).
