    It says so much that these nomads, who have chosen to commit to this life of freedom, do so with so little. While those who have stripped them of their livelihoods carelessly enjoy the horrors of excess, a single plate or a tyre full of air become objects to treasure. The purpose of life is not in what we physically possess but what we possess in our hearts, the people we see and the sights we see. The indescribable …

    # **NOMADLAND** ### **Directed by Chloé Zhao** ### **Cast: Frances McDormand** ### **A Review by Dr Usman Latif Khawaja** This movie is in the **neo-realist genre**. It is shot on real locations, outdoors, and almost all the interiors are real houses or public buildings. Almost the whole cast is unknown, except Frances McDormand, who plays Fern, a middle-aged woman who calls herself **“houseless,” not …
