Claire Forlani - The Last Time I Committed Suicide
Plot Summary
This film is an adaptation of a letter from Beat icon Neal Cassady
(Thomas Jane) to his mentor Jack Kerouac detailing
a troubled love-affair in 1947. At age 21 Neal becomes involved with Joan
(Claire Forlani), who slits her wrists in his bathroom one rainy
night. After spending a few days in the hospital with her, Neal then hangs
out in the pool hall with his friend Harry (Keanu
Reeves). Then Joan reappears months later (near Christmas time) and
tries to draw Neal back into her life.
Claire's Role
The chronically depressed Joan attempts suicide, is sent to the hospital,
and is abandoned there by Neal after only a few days. Only after several
months does she try to re-enter Neal's life and convince him to settle down
with her.
