We are informed, time and time again, that Dean is charismatic, charming, infectiously reckless and dangerous and sexy. Unfortunately, that's about all the praise I can muster. Elisabeth Moss and Amy Adams also have blink-and-you-miss-it supporting roles, and they both easily outshine their higher-billed co-stars. A quiet scene in which he tries to articulate his feelings towards Dean is one of my favourite in the whole film. He plays Carlo (Allen Ginsberg's alter ego), who spends much of the film intensely brooding over his broken heart, his writing, his wild ambitions. Let's start with the good, shall we? The supporting cast are excellent, and special mention should be given to Tom Sturridge. But when he meets charismatic Dean, Sal decides to follow his new friend's lead and take to the road on a cross-country trip across America.
He hangs out with friends in bars and struggles with writers' block. It's the late 1940s, and young writer Sal Paradise's father has just died.
