Review of My Dinner with Andre (1981) by Bill C — 08 Aug 2011
Their conversation centers around how most people wander through life (Shawn) blindly or "dead" as opposed to Andre who has wondered the earth to enrich-en his connection with his life, family and overall existence.
"It's inconceivable" that I had not watched this before 2011. Wallace Shawn (Vizzini from Princess Bride) is the audiences access to the conversation with Andre Gregory. The conversations pacing is excellent. It runs widely off course in the beginning and slows and beautifully in the end.
Not really a film for someone who does not lead an examined life. I think most people under 25 will not really enjoy it. It is really more for people who wish the could rekindle their childhood/teen ambition/dreams.
