Event
Howl
(Rob Epstein, Jeffrey Friedman, USA, 2010, 35mm, 90 min) The beats are alive and well thanks to a soaring performance by James Franco in Howl, a mesmerizing channeling of Allen Ginsberg, set in 1957 San Francisco as his poetic masterpiece is put on trial. Part hallucinatory animation, part courtroom drama, part period piece about the creation of the iconic beat poem and the censorship trial for obscenity that followed its 1956 City Lights publication, Howl is bred with unexpected life and energy. It affirms itself as a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment: the birth of a counterculture.
