‘Dinner’: a feast for the mind
“My Dinner With Andre"
Wallace Shawn, Andre Gregory
Bijou Theatre
"My Dinner With Andre" is an
American pseudo-European
film Everyone knows only a Eu
ropean would attempt a two
hour film shot almost entirely in
one setting
But Louis ("Atlantic City”)
Malle did His film records a
dinner conversation between
Wally Shawn, a dumpy, balding
playwright, and Andre Gregory,
a remarkable director who,
according to his friends, has
lately become strange. Wally
has been hooked into a dinner
with Andre, and decides to keep
out of trouble by questioning
Andre instead of actually taking
an active role in the conversa
tion.
And what a conversation it is.
We accompany Andre on his
strange journeys through
Poland, Tibet and realms un
known. We journey with him
through birth and death, and
team the real hazards of electric
blankets Andre questions many
aspects of the “typical” life,
leaving the viewer, and Wally,
dazed at the end of the meal.
Director Malle somehow
manages to pull it off, keeping
the "talking heads” interesting
There are only so many angles
you can use of a dinner table,
but rarely do the angles become
awkward. We feel that we are
participating in the
conversation, not merely
eavesdropping
The acting is also wonderful.
True, it’s not terribly difficult to
play yourself, but the characters
are wonderfully vital Wally, with
his Uncle Fester voice and
quizzical expressions, and
Andrea, with his Sherlock
Holmesian manner, come
across naturally and real
istically
“My Dinner with Andre" is a
delightful two-hour feast for the
mind, and the whole thing is
filled with rich dessert. Unfor
tunately. that much dessert
tends to be a little filling, and
"My Dinner With Andre" shares
this problem It gets a tad bit
much by the end, for my tastes
Nevertheless, it's a remarka
ble movie for what it attempts
and achieves, and marks an im
portant step in American feature
films
