Review of My Dinner with Hervé

This film deals less with Hervé Villechaise's real life than with a dull interviewer meeting a forgotten actor he wasn't even interested into in the first place. Only 42 minutes out of 105 of screen time are indeed showing bits and pieces of Hervé's life and career through mostly uninformative flash backs. The rest is only uninspired and irrelevant conversation wasting time showing the interviewer's problematic life. Who cares ? There is no mention of Hervé's health issues which led to his suicide and Peter Dinklage bears no ressemblance with Villechaise apart from being small and poorly imitating his voice and accent. Avoid this film and rewatch Billy Wilder's "Sunset Blvd" instead.
