: My Dinner With Andre

Director: Louis Malle

This is an incredible, fascinating film. It literally is a man having dinner with a friend and their conversation, but what a conversation! They talk about life and death and reality and dreams and masks and acting and pretending and being alive but dead inside and what it all means. Great stuff. Certainly not boring. Unfortunately, other than the unique presentation, most of the philosophy unearthed is stuff I explored long ago. If I’d seen this in high school it probably would have blown my mind because my own thoughts at that time were running along these same lines. Excellent, especially if you’re into pointless philosophical and existential exploration.
