Best of 2021: Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain

When Anthony Bourdain died in 2018, fans around the planet came together to celebrate the life of the inimitable chef, storyteller and explorer. The tributes spoke to his legacy: That the world is much smaller than we imagine, and people are more alike than they are different. With intimate, behind-the-scenes access, Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?) takes an unflinching look at how an anonymous chef in New York City became a reluctant cultural icon—and transformed the lives of everyone around him in the process. Reverberating with Bourdain’s unabashed spirit and voice, Roadrunner shows that it’s not about where you go, it’s what you leave behind.
