Andrés Caicedo: A Few Good Friends

1986 · 82 min

A warm, mournful gathering of friends recalling a brilliant, restless soul, tinged with the ache of his early death.

Overview
Using the unfinished film, ANGELITA Y MIGUEL ÁNGEL, by Andrés Caicedo and Carlos Mayolo, as a structuring device, friends of prolific film critic and writer Andrés Caicedo, an unforgettable figure of the group of Cali in the 1970s who left an incredible amount of texts, reflect upon his life, his work, and his suicide at the age of 25, testify to his influence in the cultural life of Colombia, and remember his strong and touching personality.
