My Dinner with Andre, Movie Discussion

Dear friends

for the September edition of Cafe philo Eindhoven we would like to discuss impressions evoked by the movie Louis Malle's My Dinner with André — a film that is, quite simply, two old friends having dinner and talking.

André recounts years spent searching for meaning: theatre experiments, rituals, journeys to the edges of ordinary experience. Wally, more grounded, pushes back — defending the quiet value of everyday life. Between them unfolds a wide-ranging conversation about authenticity, presence, and what it really means to live a meaningful life.

I welcome you to discuss your impressions after watching this movie. The conversation in the movie covers a a lot of topics. Lets discuss what struck you the most. This session of Cafe Philo Eindhoven is a relaxed, coffee-in-hand conversation before we pick our existentialism series back up with fuller preparation next time.

I am looking forward to another warm and thoughtful conversation circle.

Welcome!
