Another film based on Jack Kerouac’s work, On the Road, was released this week. Whether this one will be a success remains to be seen. However, Rick Marshall for IFC Fix notes that there have been other films that have been based on Kerouac’s work over the years.
The Last Time I Committed Suicide is based on a letter that Neal Cassidy wrote to Jack Kerouac. Marshall says:
It’s a surprisingly good, compelling film with a fantastic cast that includes Keanu Reeves as Harry, a character that’s clearly a stand-in for Kerouac, and Adrien Brody as Ben, a character based on Allen Ginsberg. … “The Last Time I Committed Suicide” is one of those films that will fascinate fans of Kerouac’s work while also entertaining anyone who isn’t familiar with the author’s works.
