Alain Tanner 
(Happy birthday Alain Tanner – born 6 December 1929.)
Influenced by his involvement with the British “Free Cinema” movement in London and with the French New Wave during his years in Paris, Tanner is best known for his movies Jonas qui aura 25 ans en l’an 2000 (Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000), Dans la ville blanche (In the White City) and Messidor.

See his filmography (via MUBI)
“My films have always represented a balancing act between those films whose objective is the discourse, the concept, and those which start from the material, from emotions, behaviour and locations.”

Messidor is an original, unpredictable, and disturbing film about two alienated young women in search of freedom from society. The film, in its poetic sweep, is reminiscent of Terrence Malik’s Badlands and could have been a prototype for Thelma and Louise.”
John Berger wrote the script for La Salamandre (youtube repost) (1971); The Middle of the World (1974); and Jonah Who Will Be 25 in the Year 2000 (1976)
