Movie Reviews of My Dinner with Andre

Movie Review: Thoughts
Summary: 3 Stars

This movie should be Shown in All High Schools and THEN,
debates should be had for weeks.

then, DROP it. let the mind simmer in its soup and
you have the buildings of the mind and soul foundations.

what each CHILD needs, before age 18.
in asia, all this talking, is nothing new.
but in your world, this is New.
so be it. Let the rights for this movie be free
and see how many show it on tv, and other media.

pls push the rights owners... to free it .. soon.
world needs Thinkers, right now, more than the billions
who enjoy and think life is only about violence, as
if tv and movies are helping these feeble minded zombies.

this movie is a Last cry for help to humanity.
to THINK.

best wishes

Summary of My Dinner with Andre

The sheer audacity of My Dinner with Andre drew throngs of curious filmgoers who made the film the most talked-about art-house hit of 1981. After all, who'd ever heard of a movie consisting of nearly two hours of nonstop dinner conversation? Ah... but this isn't just any conversation--it's the kind of mesmerizing, soul-searching, life-affirming exploration that we feel privileged to listen to, and with unobtrusive style, director Louis Malle invites us to eavesdrop to our hearts' and minds' content. The film was written by two New Yorkers at the dinner table, noted playwright-actor Wallace Shawn and well-known stage director Andre Gregory, who essentially play themselves. They taped their conversations for several weeks and Shawn gradually shaped them into a scripted conversation, but you'd never know it from watching the movie. The talk flows and flows until you're captivated by Gregory's stories of world travel and spiritual quests in Poland, India, Tibet, the Sahara desert... the tales of a soul-searcher who'd dropped out of the theater world to rediscover his zest for living. Shawn plays the skeptic, the voice of reason, his feet on the ground but his own mind willing to soar. The cumulative effect of this conversation is almost hypnotic, and certainly plays into our eternal appetite for storytelling. Both primal and sophisticated, witty and profound, My Dinner with Andre is a film that can be savored over time, offering new revelations with each viewing as the listener-viewer develops his or her own appreciation of life's great mysteries. --Jeff Shannon
