Plot

A young writer in 1940s New York travels across America with a charismatic drifter, in a version of Jack Kerouac's Beat novel.

Sinekatalog’s take

Walter Salles's adaptation of Kerouac follows restless friends across America with a sensual, dreamy look. It captures the Beat feeling, but the episodic story lacks the book's fire.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
