Meer over het boek
Sal Paradise, young and innocent, embarks on an exhilarating journey across the United States with the slightly crazed Dean Moriarty. Their hedonistic quest for fulfillment through drink, sex, drugs, and jazz transforms into an exploration of personal freedom and tests the limits of the American Dream. This brilliant blend of fiction and autobiography captures the essence of the Beat generation and has become a cornerstone of counterculture. The beloved story, cherished by millions for over fifty years, has been adapted for the screen by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles, who brings a contemporary feel while remaining true to the iconic text. The film features a world-class cast, including Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Kristen Stewart, and Viggo Mortensen. Set to release in Australian cinemas on September 27, 2012, the adaptation aims to resonate with both new audiences and longtime fans. As William Burroughs noted, the narrative encapsulates the alienation and restlessness that many felt, while Hanif Kureishi praised its impact on his worldview, igniting a yearning for fresh experiences. This adaptation promises to capture the spirit of adventure and exploration that has defined the original work.
