 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 animation that echoes the poem's
surreal style. All three coalesce in hybrid that dramatizes the birth of a counterculture.
James Franco gives it his all as beat poet Allen Ginsberg, but Howl never develops enough of a focus to do his performance justice.
