Big Sur (2013): Arguably the most successful film adaptation of any of Jack Kerouac’s novels to date, Big Sur was directed by Mark Polish and features amazing cinematography, solid acting and compelling voice-over narration such as “I was surrounded and outnumbered and had to get away to solitude again or die ” Eclectic cast includes Jean-Marc Barr, Josh Lucas, Radha Mitchell, Anthony Edwards, Stana Katic, Balthazar Getty, Kate Bosworth, Henry Thomas, Patrick Fischler and Jason W. Wong. Definitely not for all tastes!
