The Picks & Mentions: Weekend (1962) dir. Jean-Luc Godard L'Eclisse (1962) dir. Michelangelo Antonioni Red Desert (1964) dir. Michelangelo Antonioni [14 frames in this movie that Antonioni can't stand] Eating Raoul (1982) dir. Paul Bartel My Dinner With Andre (1981) dir. Louis Malle [their own movie] Claude Chabrol movies [If Wallace Shawn had to watch 10 films by one person] The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) dir. Powell & Pressburger
I like their picks a lot. There are about 2,800 frames in The Passenger I can't stand, though overall I enjoy Antonioni. Adding a 2-minute snuff film (real execution footage) to a major-release feature starring Jack Nicholson and Maria Schneider, though? Really bad idea.
That struck me as oddly true, also. The child’s brain is so malleable, and therefore so vulnerable to any and all surroundings, that it often absorbs others’ opinions just as a base for how opinions work. You may hear a parent complain that JAWS is a dud because you don’t see the shark until the end, and even then, only in glimpses. That thought may stick with you, and you may not be able to appreciate or even identify how delaying the reveal of the shark builds suspense until much later in life just from one comment.
Explains a lot about why they absolutely have to stop the transgender fad which is destroying young people's lives in ways that even drugs couldn't do. You can got off most drugs if you're motivated but once you spay or neuter yourself, that's usually it. Young people don't know what they want or like, they just get enthused based on what others are thinking or doing or saying....
So can I! I remember watching "My Dinner With Andre" once, and the atmosphere took me back to an afternoon that I spent talking with a friend who talked his way through Asimov's Sci-Fi... The only thing missing was a table decked with wine and delicacies (as in Andre's), to complement the sojourn through his collection of Agatha Christie novels.

A breath of fresh air in a polluted world. I send these clips off to my teens & other young ones. When they tell me they enjoyed it I get an enormous thrill. Sharing wisdom, knowledge, respect & delving into the arts is how we’ll be saved. Sharing with the young is our duty & when it impacts it’s a wonderful event.
It breaks my heart that any man can feel such regret over a work of art. It comforts me to know that I'm not alone in that feeling of actually feeling alone.
Wallace's description of seeing Godard's Weekend is much the same as when I saw Godard's Alphaville: HATED it and then the next couple days discovered that I couldn't stop thinking about it, quickly realizing it had suddenly become one of my all time favorite films!
You'd think that because of slow pace in their voices and the long pauses between forming their next phrase that this video would be monotonous and therefore boring. But no. Quite the opposite. I was distraught that the video ended so quickly. More please. :-(
I just saw “My Dinner With Andre,” I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging these two were. I didn’t think a movie taking place in one setting and featuring two people talking would be interesting for too long. But it’s relevant me gave me a lot to think about Andre especially is a great storyteller, I could most visualize his adventures in the Polish forest
That would be great but I doubt they'd talk about movies much apart from using them to try and one-up eachother by doing impressions of the actors in them.
I like to imagine there's an armed goon standing by the door who takes away the guests picks and puts them back on the shelves. they stumble out into the parking lot mussed up and muttering, "so that's what all the nda forms were about..."
Saw the film " My dinner with Andre"....I have to say its changed my life ...so much information that we can apply to modern life & its stresses .....too bad I did not see this when I was younger....but I will ask my son to watch it ...a Masterpiece thanks to you both..love .
Hey, just in case it ever makes it back to either Wallace or Andre, or both, that simple conversation so many years ago echoes through time in the best of ways. It lets us all know this exact conversation, revelation, whatever, has been happening over and over for a very long time, and maybe we'll get to a point where we all have this sort of introspection and realization that this is how so many of us are just floating through our existence. Thank you both
With all the anger over the recent placing of Chantal Ackerman's classic being named the #1 movie of all-time, I almost immediately wondered if the same people who are enraged had ever seen My Dinner With Andre. A film I've only seen twice, once in my twenties, and once in my late 40s. It is still as fascinating as ever, but in such different ways. What a perfect closet picks video.
When Andre was telling the Red Desert screening story, it seemed so similar to his recollection about his sojourn in a Polish forest. Love these two men.
I've always loved these guys, but to know they also love my favourite directors of all time, Powell & Pressburger, makes me absurdly happy. You're right guys, Life & Death of Colonel Blimp is a masterpiece. x
I'm so glad Wallace Shawn talked about Colonel Blimp--my favourite Criterion title. I've watched all of these "criterion closet" clips and I'm pretty sure this is the first time anyone mentioned this film specifically (although many talked about Black Narcissus). The Princess Bride is also one of my favourite films of all time so, Wallace Shawn giving such praise to The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp really made my day. If you haven't seen the film, you should, it is epic and wonderful. (And by epic, I mean it's a long movie).
+Denis Sweet After reading the two volumes of Michael Powell's autobio, I did what I could to see his stuff. So, I caught Colonel Blimp. Right now I can only remember that it was really about the old world up against the new world. Can't remember an ending..or how it began. I remember feeling that Michael Powell was a man's man after reading his books.
+sclogse1 I'm not sure when his autobiography came out or when you saw Colonel Blimp, but for the longest time the film was severely edited (to the point of significantly changing the overall meaning of the film, so if you saw it awhile ago, you probably saw a poor version of it. As far as I know, only the criterion collection has the full version of the film, so if that's not the version of Colonel Blimp that you saw, I suggest that that is the one you should watch to fully appreciate it. That's just my opinion, though.
charming :D Agree w/Andre re: Red Desert & Wallce re: Eating Raoul. Interesting question about preferred nationality and/or filmmaker... made me think of Zhang Yimou's Red Sorghum when it came out on video in the states. I was absolutely blown away by it's visual power and intoxicating mix of personal revolt, epic tragedy, humility and bawdy humor. It made me fall in love w/Chinese cinema... and yet no other Chinese film I've seen has ever surpassed it's simplicity & power (imo).
أربع مرات أعدت مشاهدة my dinner with andre من 2018 الى الآن وبكل مرة أستمتع أكثر من اللي قبلها.... مستعد أشاهدكم يوم كامل تسولفون، بدون أي ملل... Big love والله
I LOVE THESE MEN!!! To this day, My Dinner With Andre fascinates me. It's on my 20 Best Films Ever list. Watching them talk about film just brings joy to my heart!!! Thank you, Criterion, for all you do for film geeks like me!!!
I admit that if i hadn't recently discover the brillant Eating Raoul, my reaction here would have been something like:" What's that trash doing in Criterion closet.."
These guys are still alive? Good for them! They outlived both Siskel and Ebert who actually gave them a good review for their film My Dinner with Andre years ago. I wish they had their own TV show reviewing films. I’d watch it as a film buff. Why didn’t anybody give them a forum for discussion? Now it’s probably too late. They have such critical views that one could learn something from both of them. Although I would challenge them both and ask why do you like this film and why don’t you like that film? They better have a good reason or explanation why or else it’s just, I like apples and I don’t like oranges but I can’t tell you why! That would be pointless and meaningless.
In late 90's my sister and I were at the Ralph's market on La Brea and Fountain in Hollywood. We spot Wallace Shawn by the prepared food counter, she corners him, getting closer and closer and he is tiny like 5 feet. I turned back cause I was so embarrassed 😂.
Westerns are: I'm hard, No! I'm hard. Then someone kills someone. Someone harder. But there's no exploration. There's no truth. There is no revelation. Your dinner movie - which I just finished ten minutes ago - is something I'll have to revisit a few times more before I have a response. I have had various interactions, mostly on Wallace's side, but perhaps once or twice on the other side. There is a lot of truth, introspection and existential dilemma on your amazing movie. I'm sure you don't need fawning fan service + but thank you for your work, both.
Just watched My Dinner With Andre this morning! Such an astonishing film that i’m still thinking about as of now. Definitely picking up the Criterion pretty soon.
I am happy to see them monologing as they did in their movie. The most peculiar thing I noticed, is andre appears to be a swing with questions, brilliant.
Lovely piece of film. I love the idea of hating and loving and then hating a film. The first time I saw Donnie Darko I thought I was going to see a horror movie and I hated it. A few years later I watched it again because it was in on many best movie lists and I thought I should. I fell in love immediately. Oh cinema...
I love that Wallace Shawn initially hated Weekend. Makes me feel that it's okay that I loathe Breathless. I have yet to come around on it, but maybe someday I will...
"...Although if you didn't have anything to play these on, it would be almost heart-breaking." Alas, sadly, this is becoming a reality, especially now that computers/laptops don't even come with a DVD/CD-ROM drive anymore.
These two are wonderful. They should make a whole movie of just the two of them talking to each other.
@John Smith My Dinner with Andre is the movie they both played in and it's great movie and you should watch it =)

"Honestly you can't tell if you like things or hate things when you're a kid'" Sums up my childhood.
That struck me as oddly true, also. The child’s brain is so malleable, and therefore so vulnerable to any and all surroundings, that it often absorbs others’ opinions just as a base for how opinions work. You may hear a parent complain that JAWS is a dud because you don’t see the shark until the end, and even then, only in glimpses. That thought may stick with you, and you may not be able to appreciate or even identify how delaying the reveal of the shark builds suspense until much later in life just from one comment.
That explains the kids' media of the past and present. At least in America.
Still can't to this day..
Explains a lot about why they absolutely have to stop the transgender fad which is destroying young people's lives in ways that even drugs couldn't do. You can got off most drugs if you're motivated but once you spay or neuter yourself, that's usually it.

I love these two. The way they talk in such a calm demeanor, their thoughts on film...I could listen to them all day.
So unlike most public discourse these days.
They should make a movie of just the two of them talking the whole time.
Oh hey! They did! :D
I love how Andre kept the momentum going by constantly asking questions probably one of my favorite closet videos
He’s so precious
Asking questions always relaxes me.
The only sequel to "My Dinner With Andre" we'll ever get, apparently. And I'll treasure it.
But some of us will always be able to treasure our MY DINNER WITH ANDRE lunchboxes. If we still have them.
As long as it comes with the 'My Dinner With Andre' arcade game. (Tell me more.) #Simpsons
Its like a film buff's candy store in there.
"I don't particularly like to talk about films." -- Wallace Shaun

Even though I talk about films a lot... understandable.
He's more into drinking a good cup of coffee and reading Charlton Heston's autobiography
I can sit and listen to the talking all day long without getting bored.
Same here. ASMR big time.
Have you seen My Dinner with Andre?
Intelligent and interesting.
Lost today.

Yea you could make a whole movie out of just them talking
Just saw Dinner with Andre...
What a time warp to see them right now
Inconceivable
"Oh look there's our box set!" doesn't even go near it LMFAO.
Andre Gregory gave one of the best performances ever in My Dinner With Andre!
It breaks my heart that any man can feel such regret over a work of art. It comforts me to know that I'm not alone in that feeling of actually feeling alone.

I was with you until the end. You should have have left the first sentence and not formed the other phrases.
Booorrrriing
It's because their words have meaning
That's why they could make a whole film where they do nothing but chat and it's riveting
It's too short, too short, too short! I would like to spend an entire afternoon with these two. Any chance of a longer cut of this?
I just saw “My Dinner With Andre,” I was pleasantly surprised at how engaging these two were. I didn’t think a movie taking place in one setting and featuring two people talking would be interesting for too long. But it’s relevant me gave me a lot to think about
Andre especially is a great storyteller, I could most visualize his adventures in the Polish forest
Hey buddy check out the sunset limited. If you dug MDWA you might dig this.
It almost felt like the precursor to a podcast in a way imo
Okay, this makes me wanna see Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon do the same. But in semi-character.
THE TRIP TO CRITERION (Extended Michael Caine cut)
That would be great but I doubt they'd talk about movies much apart from using them to try and one-up eachother by doing impressions of the actors in them.
Travis Best
And what's wrong with that?
I love this episode. They can't seem to pick anything.
My favorite thing about this is that Gregory called Shawn "Wally." I love these two!
so adorable 😭😭😭😭
I like to imagine there's an armed goon standing by the door who takes away the guests picks and puts them back on the shelves. they stumble out into the parking lot mussed up and muttering, "so that's what all the nda forms were about..."
That Antonioni story is just.... beautiful
This is adorable.

love those two! My dinner with Andre was the first movie I ever got to watch when I came to America as a teenager. Fabulous.
These guys are hilarious even when they're dead serious. dope walkthrough
These two are national treasures.
Finally the sequel to My Dinner with Andre!
I was very surprised when Wallace Shawn pulled out Transformers 3.
Give these guys their own TV show already!!!
Both have such enjoyable speaking voices, even when they are not saying much.
When Andre was telling the Red Desert screening story, it seemed so similar to his recollection about his sojourn in a Polish forest. Love these two men.
Seeing these two still have the same kind of chemistry is very heartwarming.
still melts my heart watching this
Godard took more risks in one film than others take in an entire career. How can you not admire that???
Got my thumbs up just because of Wallace Shawn! Love this actor!
Wallace Shawn seems like a cool dude.
We need a "My Dinner With Andre Part II: 2nd Helping"
This is the most charming thing I've ever watched. Did they even take anything?
I've always loved these guys, but to know they also love my favourite directors of all time, Powell & Pressburger, makes me absurdly happy. You're right guys, Life & Death of Colonel Blimp is a masterpiece. x
I could listen to Wallace talk all day, his voice is like asmr
this might be my favorite DVD picks!!! This or Zizek
Their film of Vanya is a masterpiece. Two great artists.

Watching old people talk about films I’ve never seen gives me such pleasure
I LOVE THESE MEN!!! To this day, My Dinner With Andre fascinates me. It's on my 20 Best Films Ever list. Watching them talk about film just brings joy to my heart!!! Thank you, Criterion, for all you do for film geeks like me!!!
It doesn't get any better than this! And Andrè Gregory may hate a scene in Vanya on 42nd Street, but it was my first Criterion Bluray and I LOVE it!
He'll always be Grand Nagus Zek to me.
All these episodes are so great! I'd love to see Pacino roaming in this room!
Now four years later, My Dinner with Andre and Eating Raoul are part of the same "Glorious Food" collection on the Criterion Channel! Very cool!
At last someone picks a Powell and Pressburger film!
Release the 112 minute cut of this and put it out as a sequel to My Dinner With Andre,
I keep coming back to this vid and I can never watch it just once, but like 6/7 times.
Sweet guys; great interaction between them. Great stories too 👌🏻

Man, I hope they started a podcast together.
It sounds cool in paper.
So weird seeing them together like this all old and everything.
Two of my favorite people. Please Gentlemen, keep contributing to our culture.
This is one of the most wonderful episodes of this series.
They remind me so much of people I knew in NY in the 1970s....
Mabey because they are.
Westerns are:
I'm hard, No! I'm hard. Then someone kills someone.
Someone harder.
But there's no exploration. There's no truth. There is no revelation.
Your dinner movie - which I just finished ten minutes ago - is something I'll have to revisit a few times more before I have a response.
I have had various interactions, mostly on Wallace's side, but perhaps once or twice on the other side.

what a rare treat! so much amazing stuff in one room.
Just watched My Dinner With Andre this morning! Such an astonishing film that i’m still thinking about as of now. Definitely picking up the Criterion pretty soon.
Omg - the stuff Wally's saying about liking and hating things in the beginning has me in hysterics.
This is the greatest video of all time
They are such cool guys. Must be incredible to watch something heady like Antonioni with them 🤗
My Dinner With....remains one of the most fascinating films of all time.
We need a My Dinner with Andre II (Maybe called My Dinner with Wally?). This is the next best thing. Thank you!
My Dinner with Andre ... always & forever !!
I want the uncut version of this and it needs to be released as My Dinner with Andre 2!
I was really hoping he’d say “if you didn’t have anything to play these on it would be almost....INCONCEIVABLE!”
I love how Gregory and Shawn arnt in awe of films as they go through the Criterion Collection
I would say something along the lines of "I wish I could listen to these two talk more", but I've got a dinner with them on DVD to watch.
I am happy to see them monologing as they did in their movie. The most peculiar thing I noticed, is andre appears to be a swing with questions, brilliant.
these two are so interesting to listen to, you could probably make a whole film of nothing but a conversation between them... wait
If they didn't have anything to play those things on it would be like that "Twilight Zone" episode.
The sequel we didn't deserve, but all wanted.
Indeed. It is canon now.
Lovely piece of film. I love the idea of hating and loving and then hating a film. The first time I saw Donnie Darko I thought I was going to see a horror movie and I hated it. A few years later I watched it again because it was in on many best movie lists and I thought I should. I fell in love immediately. Oh cinema...
Lovely yarn between mates.
This is the cutest thing I've seen in a while
Never in a million years would I watch Weekend with my mom lmao 🤣
Interesting that they went with, "Dude, Where's My Car?"
I love that Wallace Shawn initially hated Weekend. Makes me feel that it's okay that I loathe Breathless. I have yet to come around on it, but maybe someday I will...
"...Although if you didn't have anything to play these on, it would be almost heart-breaking." Alas, sadly, this is becoming a reality, especially now that computers/laptops don't even come with a DVD/CD-ROM drive anymore.
