Nomadland: An American Elegy By Joshua Khoury
Chloe Zhao’s Oscar-winning third feature, Nomadland, is the story of a sixty-year-old widower, Fern (Frances McDormand), whose town falls victim to the GFC and is forced to close down. She is forced out, rendered not homeless, but “houseless”, as she says. She begins living in an RV, and meets and befriends other nomads for whom conventional society was unviable.
