André Is an Idiot
- Tony Benna
- U.S.
A celebration of life filled with raw honesty, surreal bursts of imagination, and brazen irreverence, André Is an Idiot shows us what it really means to live happily, truthfully, and hilariously. In this Sundance award-winning documentary, André Riccardi sets out to chronicle his final journey after receiving a diagnosis he could have prevented, through comedic vérité storytelling and fantastical stop-motion interludes.
