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. The chef turned writer turned culinary traveller communicated in his own unique way the joy he felt sitting down with strangers and friends alike to share a meal. As a champion of the common man, Bourdain could devour a deep-fried treat wrapped in old newspapers with the same reverence as a three Michelin star dish. His sudden death in 2018 revealed a struggle with depression. A heartfelt ode to a life lived fully, even when it ended too soon.

Morgan Neville, USA, 2021, 119 min. English spoken, without subtitles.
