Film Information
Unexpected, irreverent, and defiantly heartfelt, Andre Is an Idiot is a wildly life-affirming film about death and about the strange clarity that arrives when time suddenly becomes finite. When André Ricciardi, a self-proclaimed “idiot” for skipping the colonoscopy that could have saved him, learns he is dying, he turns his final chapter into an experiment in radical honesty, humor, and curiosity.
A lifelong iconoclast and ad-industry provocateur, André has never done anything the conventional way, and confronting mortality proves no different: he picks up a camera, cracks a joke, and begins to ask the biggest questions of his life with disarming candor.
Reviews
"André is an Idiot counsels that, as life runs out, sometimes the right thing to say is what you mean, and sometimes it’s what you absolutely don’t. The truth cuts through either way." – Variety
