synopsis

Wallace, a New York playwright, meets André Gregory, an old acquaintance and theatre director. Initially reluctant, Wally gradually gets drawn into the conversation and opens up wholeheartedly over the course of the meal.

Louis Malle démontre que le cinéma est un art aussi aventureux que le bavardage.

Télérama

This is a bizarre and surprisingly entertaining satirical comedy ‒ the story of the search beyond theatre turned into theatre, or, at least, into a movie.
