My Dinner with Andre (1981)
So boring, I just had to write a review, my first one, that's how sad it is...
Before watching My Dinner with Andre I watched Autumn Sonata. The only thing I liked about My Dinner with Andre was that it mentioned Autumn Sonata, how lovely. But that's about it. The monologues in Autumn Sonata are beautiful and interesting, the monologues in My Dinner... are dull and boring. Seriously, I've heard far better monologues from drunk or high collegestudents sitting in their dormroom talking nonsense about life. The ideas exchanged in My Dinner are not even pseudo-intellectualistic. There's absolutely nothing there. I expected a lot because I love movies that are all about the monologues and dialogues (Coffee and Cigarettes, Before-trilogy, Locke, Eric Rohmer, Ingmar Bergman...whatever) but I'm so dissapointed with this one. I see a lot of positive reviews, how that is possible, I don't understand. People calling this thought-provoking and intellectual probably haven't watched a lot of or the right cinema or read some decent books.
