Jack Kerouac's Road: A Franco-American Odyssey (1987)

Directed by Herménégilde Chiasson

“A look at the life and work of Jack Kerouac.”

Drama, Documentary · 55m

Part documentary, part drama, this film presents the life and work of Jack Kerouac, an American writer with Québec roots who became one of the most important spokesmen for his generation. Intercut with archival footage, photographs and interviews, this film takes apart the heroic myth and even returns to the childhood of the author whose life and work contributed greatly to the cultural, sexual and social revolution of the 1960s.
