ANDRÉS CAICEDO: A FEW GOOD FRIENDS
May no one know your name and no one give you shelter. May you remain free of Fames foul schemes. If you leave a body of work behind, die easy, trusting in only a few good friends.
Andrés Caicedo, Long Live Music!

Cult author, playwright and poet Andrés Caicedos work captured the vitality and frustration of a generation of Colombians, avoiding magical realisms twee sheen in favor of grounded social observation. Never directly acknowledging the heavy shadow narco-political violence cast over his city of Cali, Caicedo instead conveyed urban lifes inherent fatalism through stories of malcontent youth.

His influence resonates deeply through present-day Colombia, but as the opening scene of A FEW GOOD FRIENDS makes painfully clear, only nine years after his death no one in his hometown, forget country, remembers who he was. As the above quote suggests this is partly Caicedos own doing  at age 25, the day his first novel was published, he took his own life. Ospinas documentary is an attempt to resurrect a self-erased man through his own words; taking that same quote to heart, A FEW GOOD FRIENDS focuses as much on Caicedos brief life and body of work as on his continued impact on friends left behind.
