on 60s hippiedom, from a Village Voice review of Across the Universe

[Mark Kohut]

Except that: We need much more, so rent the best account I've seen of the hopes and fears of that twitchy, narcissistic, wonderfully high-minded time—Alain Tanner's quiet little 1976 Swiss movie Jonah, Who Will be 25 in the year 2000, whose disappointed hippies pin their hopes for the future on a little boy born into their failed commune. Wherever he is, Jonah has hit 32, and if he's not selling roach clips on Telegraph Avenue or something ineffably sad like that, I like to think he's joined the Greens, thus ensuring that his parents' great adventure will not, as it were, have gone to pot.
