	My Dinner with Andre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		My Dinner with Andre is a 1981 movie starring Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn, written by Gregory and Shawn, and directed by Louis Malle.
		Pixar's first animated short—The Adventures of André and Wally B. —was a tribute to the movie.
		It would also seem that the last episode of Frasier's first season (My Coffee With Niles) was inspired by it, in the title at least.

	Major John Andre
		Andre presented Howe a memoir he had compiled from his observations in "the colonies." Impressed by the young man's abilities, Howe first gave him a captaincy in the 26th Regiment and recommended him as an aide to Major-General Charles Grey.
		Andre was present at the Battle of Brandywine, Grey's bloody night raid, known as the Paoli Massacre, the Battle of Germantown, the British occupation of Philadelphia, the Battle of Monmouth, and Grey's brutal raids of 1778 in Massachusetts and New Jersey.
		Andre was imprisoned at Tappan, New York, and on September 29, 1780, he was found guilty of being behind American lines "under a feigned name and in a disguised habit." Andre was hanged as a spy at noon on October 2, 1780.

		While some may argue that a film such as My Dinner With Andre is not in need of a lavish, extra-laden DVD of the caliber of, say, Armageddon, the fact remains that the film is a long-beloved treasure of art-house cinema; it deserves a better transfer.
		My Dinner with Andre is in many ways the ultimate art-house movie: low budget, highly philosophical, and demanding an intellectual audience's unstinting attention.
		My Dinner with Andre is a one-of-a-kind film, and its success is unlikely to be repeated.

		Summary: During the 1980s, Wallace Shawn, a writer and playwright, is forced to attend a dinner with André Gregory, a burned-out theater director.
		André talks about his journeys to exotic locations, and amidst these stories we also get to observe an entire meal.
		Considering that almost the entire film occurs at the dinner table it is worthy of being considered a food film.

	MovieMartyr.com - My Dinner With Andre
		My Dinner depends on the willingness of the audience to listen to the words being spoken and their ability to conjure images to go along with the adventures being described.
		Of course, the ability of André to still be affected by art (late into the evening, he quotes the Bergman film without any irony) shows that his disillusionment is not absolute.
		Of course, he provides a more grounded counter-balance to the eccentricities that André offers, but I can’t imagine that most viewers would be able to sympathize wholeheartedly with the simple-minded faux-profundities that he spouts at the end of the film.

	Bio for Andre Gregory on MSN Movies
		He "announced" his return with a most unorthodox film: 1981's My Dinner With Andre, co-written by Gregory and his friend Wallace Shawn, who comprise the "cast" of this captivating 2-hour chatfest.
		Gregory, just sit back and listen to the soundtrack of My Dinner With Andre, wherein he details his career highs and lows, his world travels, his fascination with The Little Prince, the time that he ate dirt, and so on.
		Andre Gregory's later film credits include Always (1985), Bonfire of the Vanities (1990), Demolition Man (1993), and The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), in which he played John the Baptist.

		"My sense is that people are so jazzed right now by the self-importance of being contacted," she continued.
		My companions were divided on whether it constituted a disturbance--the one with his back to the wireless user said he didn't notice any intrusive noise and the one facing the caller said she did.
		In contrast to Andre and the self-absorbed incessant chatter that he spews, Wally says the most simply by listening and observing.

	israelinsider: Views: My dinner with André
		So it was with a certain glee that I invited André, a peripatetic Frenchman and a longtime critic of Israeli policy, to stroll with me along Tel Aviv's most elegant street, graced by tall trees and splendid Bauhaus mansions, home of top investment banks and some of the city's finest restaurants.
		I reminded André that, over the weekend, the IDF stopped five suicide bombers: "Your country is among the loudest who tell us that there is no military solution to terrorism, that only negotiations and concessions will bring an end to suicide bombers.
		André and I parted as friends, although it was hardly the Hollywood moment of Rick and Louis at the start of their beautiful friendship.

	Blogcritics.org: DVD Review: My Dinner with Andre
		Andre is an old friend of Wallace's and a successful New York theater director, who has just returned from an emotional, soul-searching journey abroad.
		When Andre lectures on being in church as "a huge creature appeared with violets coming out of its eyelids and poppies growing out of its toenails," Andre and the audience are a complete disconnect.
		Above-all, My Dinner with Andre effectively signifies the ability for a surrealist and a realist to agree to disagree, yet still be moved by one another's near-incessant rants.

		My mother always identifies with the spirit of Alvin Straight, and loves the fact that this man was (and remains in character) an Iowan.
		My mother and I, for instance, spell the words along with the participants (we've seen the movie twice).
		My favorite part of this movie is the CW video at the end, but there are many aspects of this film I enjoy, including the chemistry between Meryl Streep and Shirley MacClaine.

		As Andre said, "Lucy's is run by one of the nicest people in the world (Lucy) and has the best mole sauce on the west-side." I actually think that goes for the west-side of NYC too.
		I couldn't help to be captivated by Andre, in between bites of Gallina en Mole, breast of chicken in authentic mole sauce, prepared to order with soup salad, rice and beans, I listened with intrigue as he related the story line.
		In honor of Andre Bormanis and new series Threshold, I'm thinking of putting together a TV party in NYC with my friends who are Star Trek fans.

		A filmed conversation between two real-life friends, avant-garde theater director and playwright André Gregory and actor-playwright Wallace Shawn, My Dinner With André is a mad, modern platonic dialogue about the meaning of life.
		The friends have not met in six years;not since André dropped out and went on a quest for spiritual reality which led him around the world.
		As André recounts his adventures, Wally, the pragmatist, occasionally interjects skepticism serving as the perfect foil to André's soaring flights of mysticism.

		André follows a dinner conversation between two old friends: André Gregory, theater director and world -wandering philosopher, on the one hand, and playwright and actor Wally Shawn on the other.
		André, having "given up the theatre," has been roaming through the forests of Poland, the Sahara desert, and hither and yon desperately seeking something "real" to hold on to.
		And André expresses his fear that society is moving too fast, not taking the time to really chew its food, or flourish in the present moment, or even interact with other human beings on more than a superficial level.

		My Dinner with André mentions Brecht, and the film upholds a Brechtian effect, keeping us entertained but mindful.
		Some have said that My Dinner with André would be better off as a book, a book-on-tape, or a play, but I disagree.
		And when we are through with our dinner with André, our perspectives on reality may have changed, or at the very least, André will have put us to thinking about them.

		Both primal and sophisticated, witty and profound, My Dinner with Andre is a film that can be savored over time, offering new revelations with each viewing as the listener-viewer develops his or her own appreciation of life's great mysteries.
		Andre Gregory's bizarre, surreal story and his catharsis about the nature of modern life that comes from it is powerful stuff, but the real punch comes from Wallace Shawn, our Everyman, and his reaction to it.

		With a run of soulfully naughty novelty discs that were effectively banned from the major airwave outlets — and a reputation for wild stage shows that would feature daredevil leaps off the balcony during "Going Down to Tijuana" — Williams remained a popular performer in regional circuits through the early 1960s.
		This is not, however, a "Chuck Berry" kind of gig — a reference to the days when the notoriously cheap founding father of rock 'n' roll would tour the country solo, relying upon promoters in each city to assemble an unrehearsed backing group of local barband yokels.
		Andre's band for this special one-time bash will be the Red Bank-based Ribeye Brothers (formed by ex-Monster Magneteers Jon Kleiman and Tim Cronin).

		The bartender is a wraith in the background, the waiter is the sort of presence they were waiting for in "Waiting for Godot." The friends order dinner, and then, as it is served and they eat and drink, they talk.
		They (and Gregory) literally believed in mind over matter, and as Gregory describes a monk who was able to stand his entire body weight on his fingertips, we visualize that man and in some strange way (so hypnotic is the tale) we share the experience.
		One of the gifts of "My Dinner with Andre" is that we share so many of the experiences.

		In MY DINNER WITH ANDRE (1981), directed by Louis Malle, two New York intellectuals (real life stage director Andre Gregory and actor Wallace Shawn, who together wrote the unscripted-sounding script) have a reunion in a chic restaurant and, over a fine and many-coursed meal, talk about their lives.
		Andre; and Wally could not be more different; yet I think of them as merely two sides of one person: dreamer, pragmatist.
		The conversation is unforgettable and the reason it will not soon leave my memory is that I feel I was there at the table with them.
