About to begin recording their new feature film adaptation of the book On The Road by Jack Kerouac at the invitation of Francis Ford Coppola , Walter Salles 's life is retold and annotated filmography by journalist Mark Strecker Na Estrada Film Walter Salles.

Question: How do you define the book: a biography, a biopic ? And decided to structure it ?

Mark Strecker : On the Road is a book about the work Walter Salles, who is a filmmaker in the world. But to write about your film, it was necessary to also talk about their origin , their life and their values. So talk about his childhood and adolescence, about the passion for racing, few people know , for example. Explain the cinema for life, but also try to explain why movies like The Motorcycle Diaries and Central Brazil are so important. So I think the term biopic clearly defines the book.
