My Dinner With Andre

Saw My Dinner With Andre (Thanks, Steven Gilbeau! I've actually Seen Coffee and Cigarettes and also Waking Life, but thanks anyway, Laura) It was a dense film. It reminded me of when I was back in the theater what with the talk of energies and performance and slightly hysterical phrases. The film is very spare in its staging with only a few slow zooms to keep your eyes busy. It worked for me on some level, I feel because I keep wanting to rebut and respond to the characters which of course means they've made some kind of emotional impact on me. I would like to hear the film-maker's take on the modern internet-fueled panopticon we live in. As a CS graduate student I'm sure it would annoy me, but it would be interesting.
