Following the economic collapse of a company town in rural Nevada, Fern (Frances McDormand) packs her van and sets off on the road exploring a life outside of conventional society as a modern-day nomad. The third feature film from director Chloé Zhao, Nomadland features real nomads Linda May, Swankie and Bob Wells as Fern’s mentors and comrades in her journey of exploration through the vast landscape of the American West.

WHY BOOK THIS FILM? Winner of 3 Oscars and 4 Baftas, and nominated for as many more, Nomadland boasts a stellar performance by Frances McDormand and spectacular cinematography which showcases both the splendor and the squalor of present-day America. “Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland is an utterly inspired docu-fictional hybrid, like her previous feature The Rider. It is a gentle, compassionate, questioning film about the American soul. With artistry and grace, Zhao folds nonprofessionals into an imagined story built around a cheerful, resourceful, middle-aged woman played by Frances McDormand. This quiet, self-effacing performance may be the best of her career so far.”

The Guardian “Fern and her friends are united as much by the experience of loss as by the spirit of adventure. So many of the stories they share are tinged with grief. It’s hard to describe the mixture of sadness, wonder, and gratitude that you feel in their company — in Fern’s company, and through her eyes and ears.

It’s like discovering a new country, one you may want to visit more than once.” New York Times
