André is a brilliant idiot. He is dying because he didn’t get a colonoscopy. His sobering diagnosis, complete irreverence, and insatiable curiosity, send him on an unexpected journey learning how to die happily and ridiculously without losing his sense of humor. Tony Benna’s ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT is more than just the portrait of a man at a personal crossroads, it is a statement about the fragility of the human body, a call to arms for self-care, and a statement of resistance against the cultural expectations that surround death and dying.
