Anyone see it yet? Just saw it. Was well made. Guy had quite a life and his story is pretty damn interesting. Seemed like a lost soul who never really found what he was looking for.

I really want to see this. I was rewatching Parts Unknown earlier this week.

He actually has some older eps before Parts Unknown on youtube called:
Anthony Bourdain A Cooks Tour
They are pretty good, loved the one where he toured The French Laundry restaurant.

I saw it.
I'm a huge Bourdain fan. Watched his shows from a Cook's tour (00-02) all of No Reaervation and all of Parts Unkown. Literally watched all episodes more than once.
I thought the doc was very dark and depressing. Which isn't really isn't surprising given that we all know how his life ended but it's certainly eye opening to see how his last year filming just fell apart for him.
My grandmother died of suicide when my mom was 25. I never got to meet which sucks but I feel for my mom and her siblings that had to endure that (which happened right after my grandfather died of cancer).
I will always love Tony - I thought he was such a beautiful essayist, orator and writer. I don't care as much when he did transfer over to CNN (parts unknown) he became more political because the cinamaphotogrophy just got to be almost perfect. He made me want to travel and inspired millions to do the same.
That doc however painted a very honest picture of him from the beginning to end and I'm thankful I saw it but I will choose to remember him before he went downhill. Man that Hong long episode they talked about was so rough to watch when you got to see the behind the scenes. I can't believe he fired Zach - Tony literally visited that mans family in Maine dedicated a whole episode to him in No reservations. And to just be a dick to him - I just hate how his ending went.

Unsettling to read his old Reddit posts. You could see he knew his time on this planet was short.

Completely agree about the Hong Kong episode where at that point his Asia Artergo or whatever her name was poisoned his mind and took over. Seeing that asylum seeker being interrupted by AB in the middle of a sentence about "hope" didn't seem right. Didn't seem like AB.

That Argento bitch was a poisonous snake and a terrible influence on him imo. Maybe selfishly I like to think he’d still be alive if he hadn’t met her.

Saw it last Thursday.
Without question, one of the very finest biographical documentaries I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.
Exceptionally well crafted.

A documentary about the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain has triggered controversy after it emerged that the filmmaker used artificial intelligence to recreate his voice.
A 45-second segment, in which Bourdain’s computer-created voice reads an email aloud, has raised ethical questions over the technique.
It was used by Morgan Neville in Roadrunner, a one hour 58-minute documentary about Bourdain, who committed suicide in 2018, aged 61.
In the clip, viewers hear the chef say: “My life is sort of s--t now. You are successful, and I am successful, and I’m wondering: Are you happy?”
It would have remained a secret had Mr Neville not admitted using the technique in an interview with the New Yorker magazine.
While the use of AI in the Bourdain documentary was purely for artistic reasons, there are fears that the “deep fake” technology could be exploited for more sinister purposes.
In this case, Mr Neville sent approximately 12 hours of recordings of Bourdain to a software company who recreated his voice for the short clip.
“If you watch the film … you probably don’t know what the other lines are that were spoken by the AI, and you’re not going to know,” he said.
However critics, including Bourdain’s former wife, Ottavia, condemned the use of AI.
She disputed suggestions that she had given her blessing for the clip.

Yeah, I don’t don’t care how good the rest of the documentary is, this is not ok at all.

Watched it today and it’s pretty obvious in the emails that it’s AI, but it doesn’t in anyway, shape, or form, detract from the doc.
And that’s coming from someone who lost a parent to suicide.
Very heavy at the end, but very well done.

really hard not to think this way.
anthony bourdain should still be with us, doing his thing

All I can do is laugh at the shallow controversy about that AI bit. It has absolutely no effect on the brilliance and heartbreaking effect of that documentary. it's a complete nonissue

It’s extremely immoral. That is absolutely not ok in a documentary. Might as well have him doing coke out of a prostitutes a-hole.
It is extremely immoral to have that in a documentary. Yes, other documentaries do similar stuff. That isn’t excusing them. Those people are straight up liars.

Honestly, ottavia wasn’t any better. Anthony had a toxic relationship with women.

I’ll watch this. I watched the Dr Hunter autopsy show where he documented something like 19 times where AB referenced hanging himself in his hotel bathroom on episodes or blogs. He was a wayward soul and that scummy skank didn’t help him at all.
