Nomadland (2020)

Fern is forced by circumstances such as the death of her husband and the evacuation of the city where she lived to continue her life in a van in which she keeps her basic necessities and with which she travels throughout America.

''Nomadland' is a drama film that has received a lot of praise in the last year. The film is almost a documentary, sad and authentic, which touches the heart if its audience especially through the wonderful performance of actress Frances McDormand, one of the two actors who appear in the film, the rest of the cast being actual nomads who live their lives just as the film presents it, and who were almost completely unaware of the status of those with whom they interacted during filming. The almost documentary style is maybe not for everyone, but the wonderful no-talking, picturesque natural wide shot scenes, often slipped by the skillful Chloé Zhao make the experience a truly special one.

Director:  Chloé Zhao     
With: Frances McDormand, David Strathairn, Linda May, Gay DeForest
