The unexpected, irreverent, and heartfelt new documentary André Is An Idiot is coming to The Frida Cinema for a limited engagement the last weekend of March!
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.
Winner of both the Audience Award and the Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award in the U.S. Documentary category at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Andre Is An Idiot is a wildly life-affirming film about death and about the strange clarity that arrives when time suddenly becomes finite.
