Diner
Suddenly, life was more than French fries, gravy, and girls.
Directed by Barry Levinson
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, SLM Production Group
A warm, nostalgic ensemble portrait of young men clinging to carefree friendship and the refuge of a diner as adulthood inevitably closes in.
Set in 1959, Diner shows how five young men resist their adulthood and seek refuge in their beloved Diner. The mundane, childish, and titillating details of their lives are shared. But the golden moments pass, and the men shoulder their responsibilities, leaving the Diner behind.
