Cannes 2012: Critics Don’t Like ‘On the Road,’ but They Blame Jack Kerouac

May 23, 2012 – 3:08 pm

"On the Road" is winning attention at Cannes for Kristen Stewart's daring (and baring) performance, but the initial round of reviews have not been kind to Walter Salles' long-in-the-works adaptation of Jack Kerouac's Beat Era classic.

Most critics, though, seem to agree that the movie's shortcomings aren't really the fault of Brazilian director Walter Salles, who won acclaim for "The Motorcycle Diaries."

Instead, they attribute those failings to the impossibility of adapting Kerouac's 1957 book, which revved up a meandering and episodic narrative with the energy of its prose and the timeliness of its message.

"Like the work of James Joyce, the book is explicitly literary, its content inherently bound by its form and its author so fundamentally a writer before a storyteller that many, including myself, believed it to be unadaptable," writes Simon Gallagher at Film School Rejects.

To be sure, some of the early viewers have been more positive. Jerry Cimino from the San Francisco-based Beat Museum (he's a Kerouac expert, not a film critic) tells the faithful, "Kerouac fans will be proud," while Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere says that all ...

Cannes 2012: Kristen Stewart Embraces Topless, Beatnik Role in ‘On the Road’

May 23, 2012 – 1:36 pm

Kristen Stewart leaves “Twilight” far behind in a sexy, adventurous performance in “On The Road,” based on the iconic Jack Kerouac novel, where she “pushed herself” hard, she told the media at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.

In the film directed by Walter Salles (“The Motorcycle Diaries”) Stewart appears topless and close to fully naked in several scenes. She plays Marylou, the wife of one of the writers who joins them on their road adventures.

In one particularly raunchy scene, she is sitting in the front of the car between the Kerouac-like character Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) and her husband Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund). Filmed from behind, all three are topless with the implication is they are all naked.

“I wanted to do it,” she said when asked about it at the news conference. “I love pushing, I love scaring myself.”

Brazilian director Walter Salles spent eight years trying to bring Kerouac's free association prose to the screen, criss-crossing the U.S. for over 60,000 miles.

It's a movie that Kerouac himself tried to make in 1957, when he wrote a letter ...

Cannes 2012: ‘Holy Motors,’ Holy S#*!

May 23, 2012 – 9:42 am

The flashbulb magnets have arrived at Cannes, with Brad Pitt walking the red carpet on Tuesday and Kristen Stewart ready to do so on Wednesday.

But in the circles where the currency of the realm is cinema rather than celebrity, the current centerpiece of Cannes isn't a big movie star, but an exceedingly strange movie.

By all reports, "Holy Motors," from French director Leos Carax, drew the wildest, most raucous reaction of any film in the first week of the festival. Variety's Justin Chang called it an "uncategorizable whatsit, a mad, arrestingly wacky mystery tour centered around a man … in a limousine, keeping a series of exceedingly strange appointments."

Chang said the film was met with scattered boos, but also with "the most wildly enthusiastic cheers of the festival," along with laughs and gasps.

"Holy Motors wins Palme d'WTF at #Cannes 2012," tweeted indieWIRE's Eric Kohn. "Life, death, accordions, monkeys. Carax, always a bit nutty, finally flies off the rails."

Added Guy Lodge, "Rejoice! Holy Motors is beautiful, inscrutable, frightening, idiotic, ecstatic … Best in Comp? Oui."

Will it play with the Cannes jury headed by Nanni Moretti? Eugene Hernandez of the Film Society of ...

Supercouple Smackdown at Cannes: Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson vs Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

May 22, 2012 – 9:28 am

Cue the music from "All About Eve.” The reigning King and Queen of the Croisette, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, may be overshadowed on the red carpet this week by younger, rising cinematic royalty: Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson.

Stewart, 22, and Pattinson, 26, are making their first appearance at Cannes with two gritty and hip films that could help them break out of the velvet coffin of the blockbuster “Twilight” franchise.

Stewart plays Marylou in the long-awaited movie version of Jack Kerouac's classic “On the Road,” (above) and Pattinson goes way against his usual good guy type in David Cronenberg's sexy, violent “Cosmopolis” (below).

“I'm looking for more,” drawls a nude Pattinson, reclining below a half-naked woman pointing a gun at him in the ‘Cosmopolis' trailer. “Flip the switch. Show me something I don't know.”

While Cannes has always been known as a festival for those interested in serious films, the importance of major movie stars at the festival cannot be underestimated. From Brigitte Bardot to Sophia Loren to Sharon Stone, stars have provided the frisson of sex and flash that has made ...

‘SNL’: Lorne Michaels and Fred Armisen on Who’s Staying and Who’s Leaving the Cast

May 21, 2012 – 5:43 pm

Lorne Michaels says he hasn't had to bid goodbye to anyone in the current "Saturday Night Live" cast except for Kristen Wiig -- "so far." 

But in an interview with TheWrap on Monday, he was noncommital about who's staying and going. The show often waits until late summer to make such decisions.

Wiig left the show with a tearful sketch Saturday in which she hugged her castmates goodbye. Although many have speculated that Andy Samberg and Jason Sudeikis would also leave after this season, neither received a similar goodbye.

TheWrap spoke to Michaels at the Peabody Awards on Monday, where he was honored for executive producing the IFC comedy "Portlandia," which was created by and stars Carrie Brownstein and "SNL" vet Fred Armisen.

We noted the lack of an "SNL" sendoff for anyone but Wiig.

"Not so far, yeah," Michaels said. 

Did the lack of a goodbye mean Sudeikis and Samberg are staying?

"You never know," Michaels said. "I think everyone gets through the season and just the level of fatigue by the end is just overwhelming, and it's a very emotional time. I've had a rule since the ...
