Coming up on 40 years later ...


… and My Dinner With Andre seems just as timely & prescient as ever in its view of modern society. Perhaps even more so. I'd dearly love to see a sequel, with Andre & Wally discussing social media, memes, surveillance from every vantage point, the continuing cultural slide into crassness ...

More relevant today than when it was released. The scene about the inmates running the asylum should be required viewing.

Proud of the prison they've made for themselves!

Andre felt as if he should get out before it's too late, then asked, But where to? Because every place was rapidly becoming the same place. And that process is pretty much completed by now.

But can we maintain the light, life, as Andre advises, even under these circumstances?

People are slowly starting to wake up...but they are the silent majority. Speak out and you risk being attacked, have your tires slashed, etc etc. Many are so brainwashed they are completely gone beyond common sense sadly.
