RRFF- Big Sur

(2013) Sudden fame and a self-destructive lifestyle were taking a toll on Jack
Kerouac following the unparalleled success of his groundbreaking novel, On The
Road. Once a hero of the Beat Generation, Kerouac now sees only a vestige of his
former self, ravaged by alcohol and drugs. Kerouac leaves New York for California,
on a quest for redemption in Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s isolated Big Sur cabin.
What ensues in those fateful three weeks in August, 1960, is both terrifying and
revelatory. Director Michael Polish. 81 Minutes
