Au lendemain de la mort de son père, Sal Paradise, apprenti écrivain new-yorkais, rencontre Dean Moriarty, jeune ex-taulard au charme ravageur, marié à la très libre et très séduisante Marylou. Entre Sal et Dean, l'entente est immédiate et fusionnelle. Décidés à ne pas se laisser enfermer dans une vie trop étriquée, les deux amis rompent leurs attaches et prennent la route avec Marylou. Assoiffés de liberté, les trois jeunes gens partent à la rencontre du monde, des autres et d'eux-mêmes. (MK2)

The Beats, that is the generation of Americans who stood against the norms and created a completely new direction, primarily in literature but also to some extent in life. Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Neal Cassady, or poets like Allen Ginsberg. These are the names that are still associated with something that can be considered rebellious, something that does not go hand in hand with the American dream. I don't want to exaggerate, but I think the Beats could be compared to the French decadents, although I think the latter went even further. Among the Beats were relatively hardworking people who presented their opinions through their work, it didn't necessarily have to involve bohemians. "On the Road" is a book that Kerouac wrote as a memoir. He changed the names, but he did that in almost all of his books. However, it tells about himself and his encounter with Neal Cassady, which forever influenced his relatively short life. Cassady appears in several of Kerouac's books. "On the Road" is a film that truly tells the story of a journey. It's as if the producers were aware of the stereotypical Hollywood and supported it themselves by having Walter Salles as the director. If he already made "The Motorcycle Diaries," why not make another road movie. I must say that the film "The Motorcycle Diaries" impressed me much more. I'm a bit afraid that the book "On the Road" will remain a legend, but not because of the film. People will remember the film mainly because Kristen Stewart showed her breasts. Which seems quite little to me as something worth remembering. The film is sometimes simply a bit boring, it doesn't go into details, although it could truly be critical, both towards society and the characters themselves. It could be rougher, but it isn't. Then it's just a road movie that has a little bit of "The Ride" by Jan Svěrák. I would probably rather watch "The Ride." "On the Road" doesn't offer any interesting perspective of the world.

I admit without torture that the whole beatnik generation exists on a different planet than I do. But let's say I wanted to broaden my horizons and I didn't despise Kirsten Dunst playing her role in 1947 and 1948. Her Camille at the beginning is sweet, divine, and gentle, with a perfect starry smile. It’s wonderful when she dances and sings Ella Fitzgerald's "I've Got The World On A String." In the second half of the story, she is very broken and yet has an incredibly strong personality. Simply adorable. It's also very interesting that her other co-stars in smaller or bigger roles - be it Kristen Stewart or Amy Adams - were given the same chance. It was a joy to watch Steve Buscemi and let's say Viggo Mortensen's roles, yet it's just that the main theme and the main faces were somewhat lost due to the strong framework.

Once again we’ll get to see Jack Kerouac’s torn heart, but I won’t be fooled by him again. You see On the Road is once again trying to look as an adventure travel movie about a lone wolf. In reality, Jack has no idea what he wants so once again he is torn between loneliness, sex, booze and road trips that always end the same way. Big Sur was bearable thanks to the excellent setting. But here, with all the 140 minutes, it was a bit too much to take.
