James Franco and Aaron Tveit kiss. It's San Francisco
in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial.
Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three
interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that
led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice
as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial),
and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling
originality of the poem itself.
All
three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly
captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.
In
theaters now.
