Howl (2010)

The Obscenity Trial That Started a Revolution. The Poem That Rocked a Generation.

Genre : Drama

Runtime : 1H 24M

Director : Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman

Synopsis

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.
