André Is an Idiot
Tony Benna United States 2025 88 min.
“Brilliant” idiot André is dying because he never dared to undergo a colonoscopy. The sobering diagnosis, his insatiable curiosity, and his complete irreverence toward death set him on an unexpectedly hilarious journey in which he discovers how to die happily without losing his sense of humor.

Unexpected, bold, and absurdly funny. Much like André Ricciardi himself, who spent his life continuously questioning dominant conventions, this film about dying is anything but sad or serene. When André learns that he is terminally ill with a condition that could have been detected and treated through a colonoscopy, he decides to document his final journey. A tribute to resilience, inappropriate humor, and the beauty of fully embracing the human experience - even at its very end. Through imaginative stop-motion animation, André’s stories, reflections, and unique outlook on life… are brought to life.
