this be the tale of two different men represent andre and an avant garde director and and wally and a theatre actor and writer . they meet at a restaurant and philosophise and discuss a variety of subject . the majority of the dialogue be speak by andre . he be a far more loquacious and complex character than wally . wally be a laconic and soft spoken guy and who enjoy a simple life with his wife . his epitome of bliss be drink a cold cup of coffee leave from the night before and without find a cockroach in it . andre be an intense ponderer . he tell wally the story of his experience travel around the world and from his time spend in far flung place such a scotland and poland and india and tibet . andre give the impression he be exaggerate at time . be he fabricate some of the tale . he could be . especially the one where he claim he have see monster and weird creature . the premise of two men converse for 110 minute at a dinner table be not go to be the most appealing film and but this film hold your attention and intrigue the viewer . you become involved with andre musing somehow and and just as fascinate a wally be . a great piece of arrest cinema .
