One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur (2008)

An unflinching, cinematic look at the compelling events Kerouac's book is based on.

"One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Kerouac's Big Sur" examines Jack Kerouac's escape from post "On The Road" fame to his dream of an isolated retreat in a cabin at Big Sur where he searches for inner peace. His road comes full circle with this self-exploration, resulting in an alcohol-fueled paranoia and a plunge into madness.
