Supplements: What Goodies Are There?

The three featurettes here don't quite make up for a lack of commentary, but they're fascinating in their own right: We get interviews with both actors from the film (Shawn and Gregory) conducted by writer/director Noah Baumbach (60:00), as well as an excerpt from the BBC show Arena where Shawn interviews the late Louis Malle (52:00)

DVD-ROM Exclusives: What do you get when you pop the disc in your PC?

There are no ROM extras on this disc.

Parting Thoughts

A classic film gets a fantastc presentation on a 2-disc Criterion edition - while a lack of bonuses leaves a sting of disappointment (with a film this cult-adored, there must have been more stuff to include...), for the most part, My Dinner With Andre is a stunner on DVD. I guarantee you'll either love it or hate it, but either way - do you yourself a favor: Watch it. Highly recommended.
