Allen Ginsberg’s poem Howl is an icon, a culture’s landmark, full stop.
But what about this film? I think we should start by stating how an
interesting cast that one is. There is
Jon Hamm, the Mad Men’s star, who plays the defense lawyer during the obscenity
trail and James Franco at his very best, playing Allen Ginsberg.
As for the trial and Allen Ginsberg portrait, I surely take my hat off
to them. James Franco beautifully captures Allen Ginsberg’s humanity. But
honestly I don’t get the modernist feel of the referred animation which seems
to be out of context but who am I?
So, to conclude, in my humble opinion it is far from perfect but still I
find it worth a watch. Give it a try.
