Review of One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur (2008) by Tom P — 30 Nov 2009
"One fast move or I'm Gone" offers a hard look at Kerouac's 1962 novel "Big Sur", a novel Jack wrote about the time he spendt in Lawrence Ferlinghetti's cabin in Bixby Canyon, Big Sur.
It's about his growing alcholism and delusion with the world that would forever see him as "The King Of The Beats". "Big Sur" is a harsh yet strangely moving book about madness, alcholism and fear and this documentary captures the feel of the novel with subtle poetic beauty.
Everything is perfect, from the cinematography by Richard Rutkowski to the soaring, bittersweet soundtrack by Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard.
