My Dinner With Andre

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 20, 2001

I remember seeing this movie for the first time in a New York theater. I had not heard of it but Roger Ebert had picked it as his favorite movie of the year. Virtually the entire movie is a dinner conversation at an expensive restaurant-- but the c...onversation eventually expands to cover the human condition. After I'd seen the movie, I went back to see it again with my fiance. She went back to see it again with her mother, and etc. I watch it now about once a year. It's fascinating and very moving. The last lines still stir me to the depths of my soul. No, a mad waiter doesn't poke anyones eye with his cufflink, as the previousl reviewer states. I think the point that he was trying to make is that this movie should be seen all the way through. It starts slowly but builds to great truth and power. So plan on seeing it in one sitting.
