Nomadland sets Frances McDormand to shine against landscape of American West in grey nomad tale
In a performance that has her tipped as an Oscars favourite, Frances McDormand leads Chloe Zhao’s Venice Gold Lion-winning Nomadland — a song of exile in which a 60-something widow takes to the open road, searching for home or something like it.
Set in a present day where the gig economy is simply an established fact and the American Dream has long gone to seed, Nomadland opens with the brief history of Empire, Nevada.
In a title card, we’re told that the company-owned town was abandoned and its ZIP code “discontinued” after its sheetrock mine closed in 2011.
