One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur (2008)
Beauty, humor, raw emotion, a must see!
This documentary hits the nail on the head. The producers and director obviously had deep insight into Kerouac's psyche. It is filled with beauty and humor but also captures Jack's raw emotion at one of the lowest points in his life. The movie was filmed in San Francisco, New York and at Big Sur. The way they intertwine origin film of Kerouac and vintage photographs into the filming is amazing. The soundtrack is phenomenal. I would be very surprised if the record producer Jim Sampas and musicians Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard don't get nominated for a Grammy on this one. The end was very emotional for me. Stay until the very end, even after the credits finish rolling for one of the best parts of the film. If you are a Kerouac fan you must see this movie and buy the CD.
