My Dinner With Andre: Criterion Collection (Full Screen) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In Louis Malle's captivating and philosophical My Dinner with André, actor and playwright Wallace Shawn sits down with friend and theater director André Gregory at a Manhattan restaurant, and the two proceed into an alternately whimsical and despairing confessional on love, death, money and all the superstition in between.

Playing variations on their own New York-honed personas, Shawn and Gregory, who also wrote the screenplay, dive in with introspective, intellectual gusto and Malle captures it all with a delicate, artful detachment. A fascinating freeze-frame of cosmopolitan culture, My Dinner with André remains a unique work in cinema history. The Criterion Collection.

Review:

"I am impressed once more by how wonderfully odd this movie is, how there is nothing else like it. It should be unwatchable, and yet those who love it return time and again, enchanted." Roger Ebert (The Great Movies)

Finally a DVD version of this quirky, soulful film. I'd seen this years before and hoped for a DVD set that would do it justice. Or just give me the best viewing of two men and their long chat over dinner. Eavesdropping was never so much fun or rewarding!
