MOVIE ON THE ROAD - WALTER SALLES - 2012

On the Road manages to capture late-'40s America in a feature centered on cross-country travel, smoking cigarettes, sex, drugs, drinking and stealing gas and food, but as a narrative it has little to nothing to say. The tedious result of this adaptation of Jack Kerouac's famed novel is, however, unfortunate considering Eric Gautier's rich, smoke-filled cinematography, Walter Salles's direction and stand-out performances from most of the cast. Beginning in 1947, we're introduced to Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a writer who can't find anything to say. The words won't come, but inspiration comes knocking as he and his writer friend Carlo Marx (Tom Sturridge) settle in for a night with Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) and his new 16-year-old wife Marylou (Kristen Stewart).
