Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel was considered “unfilmable”, but that hasn’t stopped director Walter Salles (The Motorcycle Diaries) from giving it his best shot. The result is surprisingly satisfying. Salles manages to retain the spirits of the Beat Generation’s most iconic tome without being overly reverential. And while the script and performances are stellar, it’s the soundtrack that made this such an enjoyable experience.
