And André Gregory calls Le Petit Prince a NAZI BOOK! IN FUCKING MY DINNER WITH ANDRÉ!
André Gregory can't say it outright. The scene in which he works his way up to ejecting that little payload of spiky hateful bizarrerie is fascinating all on its own. His talk meanders back and forth, dwelling on coincidences of slight significance as if they were proof that he was getting divine guidance (or something), until he finally gets it out. "I think there's something a little Nazi about Le Petit Prince."
That, as you might imagine, is too much for Wally Shawn. He asks for some explanation and he gets one that makes no sense at all...which seems in fact to be a homosexual fantasy that André Gregory conceived for a "very pretty SS officer" or whatever the exact words were, a pretty Nazi toyboy who (in André Gregory's strange hypothetical) likes Le Petit Prince.

Well. I finally got it out. (coughs) Anyway. I commend My Dinner with André to the general #cinema audience. It is a superb movie, it might even be one of the nails that holds together my creaky faith in hope and love and kindness and mercy...all the things we're being told are worse than useless. I would like others to watch it but holy fuck be prepared. This is a movie that will ruin your day (at least). It practically needs to be consigned to the SCP files. Good movie though. ~Chara of Pnictogen
