My Dinner with Andre
1981
**
Director: Louis Malle
Cast: André Gregory, Wallace Shawn
Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory are old friends and colleagues who reunite for a dinner at a New York City restaurant. Over the course of their long conversation, they share their diverse experiences. Louis Malle's cult piece is a static 110 minute film about two people talking. This doesn't sound like a barrel of fun, and it certainly isn't. There is nothing cinematic at display here, and the meeting is not even a proper conversation if one person talks for ages and the other says "and then what happened?".
