On the Road

PALME D’OR NOMINEE, CANNES 2012

From the director of The Motorcycle Diaries, this adaptation of Kerouac’s Beat Generation lodestone is a movie for the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. (Also for anyone who buys a ticket.)
