Dominic Sessa Is a Movie Star Now: Inside Matt Johnson's Anthony Bourdain Origin Story 'Tony'

from Stories in Motion · host D & J

Dominic Sessa's turn as young Anthony Bourdain in "Tony" is a genuine star-making performance. We dig into Matt Johnson's kitchen-set biopic, set during Bourdain's real 1975 summer in Provincetown, and talk about why it works as both an origin story and a coming-of-age gut punch. Plus: Antonio Banderas as the mysterious Chef, Emilia Jones as the girl he can't have, and why this might be the best Linklater movie Linklater never made.
