Anthony Bourdain was a force in life. He was a hot shot chef in New York City who rose from being a dishwasher. He wrote a very behind the scenes look at fancy restaurant life,. and launched a whole new career.
BUT - he was actually a very shy reserved man - very likeable on camera, very curious about the world, and maybe ready for a whole new life.
Then again - his television launch, his concern for so many issues might have been his downfall.
Roadrunner is a documentary that follows the man, the myth, and tries to explain his death by suicide.
This is an excellent film. I watched all of the Anthony Bourdain series and really liked the man's approach to food, people, and life. When his death was announced, it was a shock.
Why?
Why?
Why?
There are no firm answers, but this documentary shows many cracks in a man who looks like he's on top of the world. He should have had it all and been content.
But there's a dark underbelly. Bring a tissue. It's a really good film. But it's sad and touching.
and why?.....
