Run time

Showtimes
When advertising creative André Ricciardi is diagnosed with terminal cancer – a situation that could have been avoided had he attended a scheduled colonoscopy appointment – he does what most wouldn’t: he makes a film about dying. Irreverent and unapologetically weird, André approaches his final chapter with unvarnished humour and honesty. From medication mishaps to moving family moments, André Is an Idiot is both a comedic celebration of life and a sobering cautionary tale about listening to your doctor. A Sundance Audience Award winner, Tony Benna’s frank film reveals how, even in the darkest times, laughter can be a lifeline. Equal parts absurd and profound, it reminds us that facing death doesn’t mean giving up on joy, or not being your truest, most ridiculous self.
