Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain (2021)

 

Another documentary I rushed to see for reasons of infatuation with the subject matter, the man, Anthony Bourdain. His show No Reservations had a real impact on my life decisions to travel off the beaten path. To try new things. 

I’m not sure I expected the style of the documentary about his life to be so reminiscent of his show, but it is. I was hoping for something a little different. Radical. Subversive. Like his life. Instead its a straightforward retelling of his life, with interviews of close friends and associates. The tone is lonely. With that said, I’m glad I watched it.
