Talking Pictures: My Dinner with Andre

Two old friends meet for dinner; as one tells anecdotes detailing his experiences, the other notices their differing worldviews.

Join us for a post-film discussion with Terrance Odette and Wendy Guymer-Tutt. We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Old friends Wallace (Wallace Shawn) and Andre (Andre Gregory) haven't seen each another in five years and agree to meet for dinner. Andre, a once well-known theater director, dropped out of the New York scene to travel the world, while Wallace stuck around, finding only mixed success as a playwright. As they sit down to eat, Andre launches into a series of fantastic stories from his time away, and Wallace can't help but notice how different their worldviews have become.


"Someone asked me the other day if I could name a movie that was entirely devoid of clichés. I thought for a moment, and then answered, “My Dinner With Andre.” There is nothing else like it. It should be unwatchable, and yet those who love it return time and again, enchanted." - Roger Ebert

"Their talk feels as unforced as it is intense, but even that’s an illusion piled on top of an illusion. The film keeps returning to questions about the nature of reality and the function of performance, whether in theater or in everyday life." - AV Club
