We were promised additional films, and they have arrived. The Toronto
International Film Festival has added more films to its Special
Presentations and Gala sections, and the highlights include the worst
kept secret in the world, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “The Master,” Walter Salles’ “On The Road,”
Lee Daniels’ “The Paperboy,” and three rather strong films that are
making their premiere in Venice first, including Spike Lee’s Michael
Jackson documentary, “Bad 25,” Brian DePalma’s heavily anticipated
“Passion” starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace, and Harmony Korine’s
“Springbreakers,” starring James Franco and many young up-and-coming
starlets.
“On The Road” Walter Salles, France/Brazil North American Premiere
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles and based on the iconic
novel by Jack Kerouac, On The Road tells the provocative story of Sal
Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is ultimately redefined
by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited,
fearless, fast-talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen
Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a
personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism
engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of
it – the pure essence of experience. Seeking unchartered terrain and the
last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and
women, each adding meaning to their desire for a new way of life. The
screenplay is by Jose Rivera (Academy Award nominee for The Motorcycle
Diaries), while Executive Producer Francis Ford Coppola has been
developing the project since 1978. Also stars Viggo Mortensen and
Kirsten Dunst.
