Playwright Wallace Shawn meets theatre director Andre Gregory in a New York restaurant and, over dinner, listens spellbound as his old friend relates the series of extraordinary experiences he’s been through in a quest to find meaning in his life. Thirty years after it was made, this inspired collaboration between Malle and the two leads remains as original, funny, thought-provoking and moving as when first released. Deceptively simple, yet masterfully directed, this is a film one can return to again and again and always discover something new.
