Another collaboration with John Berger and arguably Tanner’s masterpiece, Jonah follows a group of Genevan radicals who gather at a rural retreat to consider a series of global uprisings and how they may inform a future society that can break free of the shackles of consumerism. Tanner’s best-known work is a bracing, yet wildly entertaining, example of cinema as activism.
