Both characters make some valid points. Did you find yourself agreeing more with Wally, or Andre?

How effective was this film? With just one setting, consistent lighting, simple camera shots, a dull colour palette... were you drawn into the conversation? Did the film hold your attention? Did it make youfeel something about your own life? Did it make you reflect upon your own orientation to the world?

This conversation could have taken place anywhere (a bar, a park bench, the bleachers at a ball game, a subway car)... Why was the film set in a restaurant? And why a fancy restaurant? What does this setting, and the ways both characters navigate this setting,do to the meaning of the film?

Living as we do, in a fast-paced world of machines and electronic technology, is it still possible to have deep and profound conversations? How often do we have such conversations these days? When we do have deep conversations, are they respectful and amicable?

As always, feel free to discuss any other aspects of this film: themes, cinematography, mis-en-scene, editing, acting, etc. Your entry should be roughly 530 words.
