A gritty, raw new film called Tony unveils Anthony Bourdain’s wild, unfiltered past—before he was the globe-trotting food legend. Played by Dominic Sessa, the young Bourdain (aka “Tony”) is a self-loathing, narcissistic dishwasher in 1970s Provincetown, chasing literary dreams while drowning in self-destruction. With a JD Salinger-meets-Holden Caulfield vibe, he’s painfully awkward, emotionally stunted, and desperate for connection. When his writing fellowship slips away, he flees to Provincetown, landing at The Flagship seafood joint where Antonio Banderas plays the grounded chef who grounds the chaos. Sessa delivers a haunting, layered performance—arrogant on the surface, lonely beneath—making you root for this flawed, fascinating soul. The film, hitting theaters August 14, is a powerful, unvarnished portrait of Bourdain before the fame.
