This episode has been wiped from history on HBO Max. Same thing with the episode Asia directed, Hong Kong. Thanks RU-vid for settling my morbid curiosity.
I wish Anthony Bourdain never met Asia Argento. He would be alive today if he had never met her. Tony's marriage to Ottavia and then having a child,Arianna was the best thing that happened to Tony.
for anybody wondering about the amazing "stornelli" (roman serenade) the woman is singing in the street market is talented folk singer Lucilla Galeazzi.
❤So fitting that he'd do a whole episode on fascism in 2016 and talk about how it turned out for the Italians and the Germans the last go-around. I'm glad to hear he was not pro you know who... 🫶
The black and white Rome episode from No Reservations was so much better. In fact, the reason HBO pulled this episode from streaming was because people hated Asia Argento so much and they started threatening her. Like other people have said, she's a piece of work, and not in a good way. She even managed to freak out Abel Ferrara. RIP Tony
OMG, Asia Argento reminds of Leah Remini. Asia could be her sister. The face, tone of voice, and attitude are similar. incidentally, both are in the acting biz.
I still don't understand why he did what he did! I know it was a matter of the heart? But he has the coolest job on the planet. Going around the globe trying the dishes that are popular there. Seeing everything! Catching flights regularly. He's in a new country like, every month. He could have replaced her easily! WTF he was rich. I mean WTF
This episode is NOT included in the HBO Max episodes…I wonder why. This is the first I have been able to start watching again since his suicide. Bad choices Tony, pity. Thank you for uploading…
Well, Tony Bourdain..what can I say. He couldn't complain about his upbringing or his mother, although his two wives much were like his mom. He did the hard yards before reaching 'fame and fortune' But why did he top himself? Like Nick Romano in 'Knock on Any Door' the die young and have good looking corpse seemed to be his go! Well, he disappointed all of his fans. He left his mark. That's for sure. But...everybody has their problems...Me? EST, months in hospitals...it was a c**nt act! I could tell by his taste in music..And the torture test at the gym...he was a failure in the end
I feel like Tony was thinking more with his second head when he became attracted to her. I really dont understand why this man fell for her. IMO Tony was a damaged person so of course he was attracted to a giant pile of hot shit like Asia. Nothing about her vibe seems positive. Her kids are cute and that seems to be the only redeeming factor about her. Something about her aurora is dark and evil.
She was spewing a lot of weird stuff that didn’t make sense. I don’t build up idols to tear them down. I don’t think the Catholic Church operates out of fear at least not the Christian churches that I know. I get it she was anti-fascism but when he brought it up about America she wasn’t interested..
I would really like to know the name of that lady who sins the song at the beginning of this episode of Pets Unknown. I'll be eternally grateful for information about her name. Her interpretation is for me equally impressive as the best interpretations of greats as Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel......
Wonder why he mentioned that Mussolini said he could make Italy great again. I hope that wasn't a dig but I guess it was. I will just enjoy the test of the show.
Asia is just a female version of Anthony. She is fascinating. He was setting himself up dating someone he couldn't truly have. It's not Asia's fault. She's just the embodiment of everything that's going on inside his mind.
I watched every show, he talked like a severely lost sad angry man. Sorry it happened this way Tony! And as you with the friend with the accent would say" why Tony why"?
That is sadly his TV career in a nutshell. Just a miserable nihilistic man who took his anger out on TV. One has to wonder what would have happened to him if he never got a TV career.
