On the Road


Trailer: On the Road - YouTube/MK2 Films

For the first trailer I am posting and reviewing, I am going with "On the Road." This is the film based on the famous book by 1950's "Beat" author Jack Kerouac.

The story is a free-form account of several trips across America. Kerouac uses characters to represent himself and others in his life. The construction of the novel means that the screenwriter has to find a way to make the novel translate to the screen. On board this effort are Director Walter Salles and Screenwriter Jose Rivera. They both worked on "The Motorcycle Diaries," a very well-received road trip film.

This is the film I most look forward to this year! And, that is given the array of interesting films coming up! This trailer shows the lyrical feel that Salles gave his previous film. The cinematography looks beautiful. And, you can definitely get an idea of the atmosphere this film creates. I am very much looking forward to its release!
