FELLINI MY DINNER, WITH ANDRÉ 1981, 12. Out: March 2, RRP £12.99" " DIRECTED BY LOUIS MALLE and workshopped by protagonists Wallace Shawn and André Gregory, this is an ambitious attempt to compel viewers into imagining worlds beyond the screen solely through words and ideas. In essence it's an experiment in theatrical avant-gardism that has been transformed into animated radio by the presence of a camera. However, so discreet is Malles technique that it virtually disappears amid the torrent of philosophies and experiences that gush forth in answer Shawn's dinner-table inquiry about what Gregory's been doing in the five years since last met. Several tales are entertainingly But Gregory is often self-indulgently loquacious and swamps Shawn, whose closing narrative leaves one wishing he'd been given more latitude to express himself.
