Leave your thoughts about What Happened to Kerouac?.
| New York TimesWalter Goodman''What Happened to Kerouac?'' is an affecting and illuminating memorial to a sad figure, who, as his wife remarks, ''left good memories.'' |
| User ReviewHenrick Pabout the beat writer Jack Kerouac....see the lost picture and hear his vocie.... |
| User ReviewJoe RThe most credible documentary on my favorite writer... Tons of interviews with the people who mattered most to the author... Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Neal Cassady, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder, Herbert Hunke, Gregory Corso, Michael McClure... you name it, all the Beat legends speak in their own words about the life and times of one the worlds greatest adventurers |
| User ReviewAnna Nlive footage of Neal Cassidy, Gregory Corso, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and many more. |
| User ReviewCurtis Krare look at kerouac with interviews with other beats and folks who knew him. also rare footage of him on television. nice monk soundtrack. this is not the most polished documentary but the best i've seen and done with love. |
| User ReviewRalph RI'm a huge Kerouac fan and can only recommend this documentary to all you Kerouac readers out there. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA must see for fans of Jack Kerouac, or those interested in the "Beat Generation". Interesting interviews with Alan Ginsberg, Gary Snyder, William S. Burroughs, and others. Well directed & produced with some great historical footage such as the Kerouac's appearence on the "Steve Allen Show", and his later drunken debacle on "Firing Line" with William F. Buckley. Gregory Corso is refreshingly blunt as the main narrator/commentator. |
| User ReviewBrett WI usually prefer when a documentary lets the people involved speak for themselves. This also has some neat footage of Kerouac drunk on a interview show. Still compelling. |
| User ReviewCourtney Bpeter made me watch this, and i really enjoyed it. particularly gregory corso's extreme close up and the concern he expresses about the fact that the clip mic on his leather vest draws attention away from his wolf pin. really interesting. outside of my dealings with peter, i think of the beats very infrequently since high school/college. i still believe in revision, though. |
| User ReviewBen GA sad, fantastic documentary on a writer that changed my life, my way of thinking, my way of writing.... without being too OTT and emotional.. but he did. I thought the only criticism I could give, if I had to was it seemed slightly too focused on Corso and he was annoying... apart from that the appearances by Bourroughs and Ginsberg were legendary...absolutely worth anyones time if they are even remotely interesting in the Beat Gen.... |
