About
On the Road

Refreshingly faithful adaptation of the most read Kerouac novel. I had fears this would be overly sanitized but all the sex and drugs are there albeit a little restrained on the Mexican trip. Salles has done a great job of evoking the fervent energy of 50's, sweaty, beat middle America and manages to elicit the same sense of sadness towards old Dean by the end of the film. 3 stars
