Focus Features has released the trailer for its upcoming documentary film Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. The doc explores the life of the late Anthony Bourdain.
Like many of you, I enjoyed watching the shows that he hosted as he traveled the world, explored, and ate good food. The guy led a pretty awesome life, a life that many of us would love to have. Unfortunately, he ended up taking his own life. Sometimes you just don’t know what a person is going through.
The film comes from director Morgan Neville (20 Feet from Stardom, Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal, Keith Richards: Under the Influence, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?, and They’ll Love Me When I’m Dead), and it looks like a wonderful documentary.
Here’s the synopsis:
It’s not where you go. It’s what you leave behind . . . Chef, writer, adventurer, provocateur: Anthony Bourdain lived his life unabashedly. Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain is an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at how an anonymous chef became a world-renowned cultural icon. This unflinching look at Bourdain reverberates with his presence, in his own voice and in the way he indelibly impacted the world around him.
Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain will be released in select US theaters starting on July 16th, 2021.
