Walter Salles really did "IT". Along with screenwriter José Rivera, he made cinematic history by directing a film version of Jack Keraouc's famous 1957 beat novel,
On The Road. And Salles not only made the notoriously difficult to conceptualize prose into celluloid - but he made the picture a success. Once very close to my writerly heart, this book still has a pervasive influence on my writing career. More on
On The Road later. Suffice to say that it's inspirational, even-handed and far more balanced than the novel in many ways.
