Mentre il suo film The Rider ha attraversato tutto l’ultimo anno, tra presenze ai festival, premi e nominations, e prima che comincino le riprese di The Eternals, il suo adattamento della saga di Jack Kirby per la Marvel, Chloe Zhao ha terminato il suo nuovo film.
Intitolato Nomadland, è interpretato dal premio Oscar Frances McDormand e da David Strathairn. Accanto a loro due debuttanti: Linda May e Charlene Swankie.
NOMADLAND is a road movie following Fern (McDormand), a woman in her sixties, who after losing everything in the Great Recession embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.
Il film è stato acquistato da Fox Searchlight. Chissà che non possa approdare già a Cannes.
La Zhao ha dichiarato: “As I fell in love with the American West, it was impossible not to become fascinated with the roads that lead to the many adventures beyond the horizon,” Zhao said in a statement. “I’m very fortunate to be able to hit the road with a talented team and collaborate with a cast of professional and non-professional actors who are deeply giving and inspiring. I can’t wait to share their stories and what we’ve discovered along the way.”
