André Is an Idiot is a documentary about facing the unthinkable – and refusing to lose your sense of humour along the way. Years after skipping a routine colonoscopy he was meant to attend with a friend, André is diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Rather than retreat, he turns the camera on himself, documenting the final chapter of his life with disarming honesty and a gloriously irreverent wit.

Director Tony Benna captures André’s exuberant personality as he sets out to make the most of the time he has left – embracing absurd schemes, unexpected joys and moments of quiet reflection. What emerges is both riotously funny and deeply moving: a portrait of a man determined to live fully even as he prepares to say goodbye.

Warm, candid and unexpectedly life-affirming, André Is an Idiot invites us to laugh, reflect and appreciate the strange, fragile brilliance of being alive.
