ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT

When André, a brilliant idiot, learns he’s dying from a disease he could have detected with a colonoscopy, he decides to document his final journey.

As an iconoclastic ad man, he had defied convention throughout his life. True to form, André approaches mortality with his trademark humour and curiosity, determined to learn how to die both happily and ridiculously. In a unique collaboration with director Tony Benna, André’s stories and musings are brought to life with imaginative stop-motion animation, capturing his unique approach to life’s challenges and joys. Unexpected, irreverent, and absurdly funny, the Sundance award-winning documentary is a wildly life-affirming film about death. ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT is a celebration of resilience, inappropriate humour, and the beauty of fully embracing the human experience - even at its end.
