ROADRUNNER: A Film About Anthony Bourdain - Official Trailer | In Theatres July 16

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. From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom, Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), this unflinching look at Bourdain reverberates with his presence, in his own voice and in the way he indelibly impacted the world around him.

[@rebeccaclark3362]

He was my favorite person to watch. He appreciated food, culture, and travel. Modestly, and with raw emotion. No acting. I miss traveling with him. Although I wasn’t there with him, he made me feel like I actually was.

[@Melissa02891]

I'm not sure how I'll prepare myself for this documentary. God I miss this man, my favorite teacher, the friend I never met.

[@jenniferphipps5805]

I feel exactly the same

[@iancraig5471]

I don't think anyone could have said ot better.

[@838beb]

Imma be a wreck when I watch this

[@lorenabautista2242]

Wow, your comment made me cry a little. I feel the same.

[@billuvill]

I will probably have some coffee and food. Just in case movie is long and boring. That's how I am preparing.

[@ediah5]

Saw this at a local theater today, went by myself … I’ve always enjoyed his shows and what came out of his mouth. Glad I saw it, it was very therapeutic.

"Without experimentation, a willingness to ask questions and try new things, we shall surely become static, repetitive and moribund" Anthony Bourdain 1956-2018

[@amandalee1268]

Yup, I missed Anthony Bourdain and has always waited for his shows to come on television. No one can ever replace him, the one and only Bourdain-the Original!!

[@candibush1964]

As I get ready to watch this documentary, my heart hurts….It hurts because we all know how it ends. I loved watching Anthony, I believe I’ve seen every episode of every show, including interviews, he ever made an appearance in. God Bless you Anthony Bourdain, and may you forever R.I.P.

[@emilyklever]

Grateful for this. He passed away but life just kept going. It’s time to remember him and celebrate him.

[@thomashusted]

No matter where you go and what you do ultimately you are what your are looking for, RIP Anthony.

[@telosmonos_gustavo]

It still doesn’t feel like he’s gone 😢 It feels like I almost expect him to pop up in this documentary at some point to unflinchingly comment about his life and death with his bold wit, his clarity, his self-depricating humor and his deft turn of phrasing. The publisher of the book published about him after his death, they were kind enough to include my tribute to him in the book. Whenever I get discouraged I re-read the book or watch one of his travel shows again, for inspiration 🙏 Can’t wait to see this film!!!

[@miahconnell23]

Commonwealth Club of California had him as a speaker. What he said, plus a Q&A, is available as a free downloadable podcast. I have it, and I’d listen to it over & over & over while walking or commuting while I was feeling down while working abroad. I recommend all who enjoy listening to Tony to look it up and keep it. 🧡

[@MicaelaShepherd]

I miss him so much. It has been so many years since he left us, and I still can't see him without getting emotional.

[@maggyxchuu]

I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch this without crying. I miss his narratives so much.

[@hori166]

The things that will make you cry aren't what you think. Hopefully you've seen it by now...

[@MC-kh6oe]

If the trailer makes me cry dunno how am I going to watch the film. Is going to be painful

Right? My eyes are welling up from watching these 2 mins. Don't know how to take a full doc.

@@andreflavell2689 You still thought outside of the box though to do that. I know people who have lived on boats, some of them because certain situations in their life pushed them into that. But as a result, they ended up having some very interesting lives! I understand how you feel about Europe, it is an amazing place. Can you sail there? That would be quite an adventure! Maybe that would get you there? But either way, no place is perfect, and even Europe has some incredibly boring places too.

It’s crazy how much I love and miss this man.

[@enricomiceli8704]

Yeah I cry every time

[@BY2117]

Man, I miss him dearly. I have been binge-watching "no reservations and Parts Unknown " for the last week on KZbin. Watching his shows always makes me feel nostalgic of my travels where Mr Bourdain will always show up on TV at all the international hotels I stayed in.

[@MrSpeedyAce]

Knowing he left behind a daughter breaks my heart. As a daughter-daddy, my kid would be devistated if I wasn’t around suddenly.

[@MicheleMJJ]

I have watched this over and over. I loved him so much. Never missed his shows from the beginning. I loved hearing him laugh and show real joy when going to other countries and meeting people. He was always gracious. He will always be missed.😇😇

[@maxinelynch36]

One of the best chefs around. Went too soon. Forget Gordon & Jamie, they don't come close to Anthony. RIP ♡♡♡

[@raerae555]

Perfect song playing in the background, it makes me cry every time.

[@buddhapiyao1315]

absolutely obsessed by this man. Ive gone on the net to find out about his birthdate, his astrological chart, his palm prints, just to know him more deeply. his childhood , his youth, the way he lived the way he died everything. the roller coaster of a life this man lived is by itself worth a movie.

[@whoami6702]

Thank you, AB. I feel that your life serves as a beautiful parable-reminder that there is NO amount of intelligence, charisma, good looks, fame, fortune, success, travel and luxuries which will EVER fulfill the deepest desire of heart -- to fully realize and experience that we are NOT our thoughts. We are love itself. The greatest adventure is the truest intimacy we seek which is to see everyone as no less than our very own self. Our inner demons are not caused by anything outside of our own mind and therefore, nothing the world provides will address it. Having exhausted the four corners of the world and doing things no one has, it brings home the painful reality that the answer is DEFINITELY not in the world. To think and believe it is in the world you arrived at the inevitable conclusion, "There is no happy ending." You live on as an inspiration to many hearts. #grateful for #anthonybourdain.

[@hori166]

Highly recommend this film. My two takeaways: Our core being remains the same through our life experiences and stages, and the question, "Are you happy?"

[@marypoppins123]

Miss him and his passion for food, in all its glorious forms. Saluto 🍷 my friend

[@Txchef85]

I got to meer Anthony in Antarctica, he signed my copy of kitchen confidential, i have his chef emblom tattooed on me as he's the reason i got into this profession. Ive been to many places he's been to its like i mirrored him without even trying or knowing, Sri Lanka, the before mentioned Antarctica Hong Kong, Signapore. At the end of a long day in the kitchen I would and still do recline and watch his shows..it hurts just as much today as it did when he passed. I wish he knew how many people he touched and effects and If i could I'd tell him the sun will come up tomorrow and those feeling to will pass.. wish you were still here..RIP.

[@DeathAngelHRA]

Several years ago, my toddler niece ran up to Anthony while in her father's restaurant in Cupertino, clinging to him and calling him "Daddy!". The hotel's restaurant was empty at the time and from behind, with the salt&pepper hair, he resembled her father. The look on his face of a strange child calling him daddy..... My sister told me this a few hours later and I couldn't believe that I was so close to having the opportunity to meeting him and that it really didn't mean that much to them in my opinion. Such frustration! He really was such a unique character. I've met President Clinton as an ambassador of my command when he was my C.I.C. and shook his hand, but I'd be more proud to say that I got to meet Tony.

[@gibsonwhite1595]

An incredible documentary. Beyond words past the end. Perfection.

[@Letitbe91]

I watched it I didn’t cry like I thought I would. In some weird way it felt closure to someone who has been a very big part of my life. It’s crazy how someone you have never met can have such a big effect. Great movie, if you haven’t seen it go check it out.

[@leila7524]

I'm excited to see the film, but I can't help but feel like Tony would roll his eyes at the idea of a feature length documentary solely about his life. He was a very private person.

[@hensonlaura]

I hope Tony's not the next Marilyn, James Dean, Elvis. A budding caricature, carefully managed to promote the fortunes of whomever holds the legal copyright to his persona and imagery.

[@brendadrew834]

Bourdain was a troubled soul who took life by the throat and seized the day, carp diem! The thing that so many didn't realize not even his own mother who said "He was the last person I thought would take his own life" oh really?, he made reference to killing himself in both his best selling books, "Kitchen Confidential" and "Medium Raw"! In another video on KZbin one of his best friends master chef Eric Ripert tries to get Bourdain to start meditating and embracing Buddhism like Ripert did, but Bourdain refused to! Like Bourdain said, Eric had a far worst upbringing than I did" but the Buddhism and meditation saved Eric Ripert who was once an alcoholic as well! Too bad many didn't listen to Bourdain and too bad he didn't take Eric's advice before it was too late! Everyday people will miss him esp. his close friends and his own daughter! He had everything to live for! Sad ending to a complex life story, may he rest in peace

[@johnsmith-sk1ep]

I really wanted to see this but then I saw the trailer and looked it up and saw that david chang was part of the project. He's the antithesis of everything I liked and admired about Mr Bourdain as far as his media persona went which seemed to be heavy on honesty. I never met him but I suspect his writing was better than his culinary skills, but at least he didn't stoop to selling microwave dishware.

[@mamabear6403]

What a beautiful, intelligent man. He had so many wonderful qualities. I almost never watch TV but I liked his program( I usually avoid CNN) and I miss seeing his face. Too bad he chose a final solution to a temporary problem( yes, it’s cliche). Too bad Argento was so cavalier with his feelings. Even is she wouldn’t have been around, maybe something else might have pushed him over the edge.
