For you who likes slow, simple, philosophical and original movies don't miss out on this classic from 81'.
Storyline:
Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory, apparently playing themselves, share their lives over the course of an evening meal at a restaurant. Gregory, a theater director from New York, is the more talkative of the pair. He relates to Shawn his tales of dropping out, traveling around the world, and experiencing the variety of ways people live, such as a monk who could balance his entire weight on his fingertips. Shawn listens avidly, but questions the value of Gregory's seeming abandonment of the pragmatic aspects of life.
Great movie, one of the best I've ever seen.
Watch it and let me know what you think.
What I liked was how the dialog followed the courses of the meal:
Light and fluffy with the 1st course (soup?)
down to the meaty heavy discourse with the main dish
and conversation resolution with desert.

PS: is saw this in an art movie house back in the early 1980's (in Seattle, when I was visiting on business) and the experience of seeing this movie with a large audience is still in my mind to this day.
I remember seeing the movie with a group of friends. I enjoyed it. Some like it, some hated it, some just didn't get it, some fell asleep. It's not for everyone.
I was just thinking about this movie a few days ago. I haven't seen it in 25 years but I still remember it and recall that I really liked it. It's like eavesdropping on a really interesting conservation between two people.
