Dinner With André (1981)

dinner with andre (1981) review

a movie thats about nothing, but yet everything. its about life and art, class and wealth. is art what provides us our living? is it even enough money to live? is art really art when its in service of wealth? what makes art art, and what makes it valuable to you. but more succinctly, this movie quite literally just watching a conversation between two very very different people. what im about to say is horrifyingly degrading to this material, but you could put this damn movie on like a podcast and listen to the conversation itself. you will miss some really amazing performances in the faces. but the conversation is at many points funny, maybe even frightening and illuminating of the class difference between the two people in this conversation. I think this is a great watch as long as you are expecting that its quite literally a conversation between two people, with some really amazing performance moments, about art, life and purpose. I love when Wallace Shawn's character says that a good day for him is to wake up and find that the coffee he left overnight does not have a dead fly or bug in it. I think this is the kind of movie that might make you either feel a little sad, because there really isnt any happy ending climax. Its rather drab, slow, maybe peaceful. I think this movie is at least an overall enjoyable watch, pleasant to put on, pleasant to listen to, pleasant to look at. Just listening to a nice conversation might be grounding i guess. if you also have consistent psychological breaks. this movie is jsut on youtube right now. zeenor very much so approves 8/10 zeenor

10/10 for listening to in the background while you draw

When André says, 'The closer you come to another human being, the more completely mysterious and unreachable that person becomes,' turn to other members of the audience and ponder whether it is possible to truly know another human being. Then spray the people around you with silly string and glitter.

When André tells the story of his attempt to workshop a production of The Little Prince, and how he found himself eating sand in the Sahara desert with a Buddhist monk, eat some sand.
