A24 is “circling” a movie on the late chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain, but what form will that be? Adapted or original?
The world of documentary filmmaking can deliver some great stories but it's also filled with countless pitfalls and dangers of crossing the line of what's ethical as was the case with 2006's 'The Bridge' and this year's doc on Anthony Bourdain, 'Roadrunner.'
The recent losses of celebrated icons serve as a reminder and a wake up call for us to stop demonizing and downplaying mental illness, and let it be a reminder to keep the conversation going and challenging the stigma by any means necessary.
Our growing appreciation for culinary arts through the years has paved the way for its success in mainstream media and ultimately became a staple in numerous TV shows and films, especially in today’s modern food culture and society.
For me, Anthony Bourdain wasn’t a celebrity, but more of an elder statesman of a cosmopolitan tribe made up by my fellow travel and culture journalists. He was much loved because we saw ourselves in him and in his heroism we recognized our own.
