Summary: Lets face it, Fox Lorber doesent care about their releases
Review: Man! I thought Fox Lorber's treatment with Akira Kurosawa's RAN was as low as you could possibley go, I was wrong.This just doesent cut it, absolutly unwatchable due to the horrible basement recording quality. This film is great, yeah we all know about it. This dvd sucks. Lets write Criterion and tell them to get their loving hands on this film and RAN, Fox Lorber has zero idea what they are doing.

Summary: First movie worth buying
Review: This is one film you must see more than once to appreciate. I have seen it dozens of times now. The first few times I found myself pausing frequently to reflect on what was being said, as though I was reading a book and putting it aside to contemplate the words. The dialogue at the end of this film still brings tears to my eyes. If you're looking for a soul mate, have him/her watch this movie. His/her reaction to it will tell you a lot.

Summary: Classic movie, awful DVD
Review: I agree with the "viewer" above: this is a uniquely great movie that unfortunately has been transferred to DVD at bootleg quality. Not only is the picture quality awful, the scene guide is next to useless. It's truly an insult from Fox Lorber; the old VHS copy that I bought at a yard sale has better resolution and color. Someone should issue a better edition.

Summary: My Dinner With Andre
Review: The various subject matters masterfully interwoven in this dialogue rank even more topical today than at the time of the film's first release. A movie that moves beyond the realm of the purely visual into the world of a challenging yet beautiful dialectic experience. A must-see for any artist.

Summary: Poor DVD Transfer
Review: I first saw this movie when it first came out and it and it soon became one of my favs! This type of film may not be for everybody because the setting takes place entirely inside a posh NYC restaurant with two friends discussing everyday life. The film is all dialogue, as I said before it may not be everybodys cup of tea. I purchased the DVD several months ago and promptly returned it because the video quality was horrendous. I do not remember if the movie was filmed poorly or the transfer from video to DVD was flawed but, none the less the DVD version was very grainy. It looked as if somebody taped the movie inside a theater with a Super 8 camera. I do not recommend the DVD version unless you don't mind inferior video quality.

Summary: The Non-Action Tour de Force
Review: This is a movie that takes you into a man's mind and that makes you listen to someone else's thoughts. There is some humor, but mostly this is a film about the depth and complexity of human thinking. All in the surroundings of a genteel restaurant, with only one man as the listener. My Dinner with Andre is a unique work of art, well worth watching and worth buying for your video library.

Summary: More than Just a Conversation
Review: The first time I saw this movie I found it charming, if not somewhat pretentious, or ironic, or tongue-in-cheek? Actually I wasn't quite sure what I thought of it besides that it was entertaining and that I had enjoyed it. Upon second viewing, however, I began to grasp much more concretely what the "essence" of the film might be. While you might go into the experience skeptically, as Wally goes to dinner, it is likely to affect you in some way and hopefully draw you to thoughts you may never have had. The Erik Satie music at the close is beautiful too!

Summary: Especially engrossing if you know theater
Review: I saw this the first time before I majored in Theater Arts at UCLA and I loved it. After I studied theater history and actually knew the stories behind some of the stories Andre is telling, it meant something deeper to me. Watch someone else's copy first. If you like it, buy it because you can watch it over and over and over again and always find something new.

Summary: my favorite movie of all time!
Review: I saw this movie when it first came out and I haven't stopped thinking about it since then (18 years ago). The theme has become more relevant with every passing year. It is my litmus test of new friends. Do you like My Dinner With Andre? If so, we may have common ground. If you see it and don't like it, we will have nothing in common.
