About
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.
“Attempts several exciting things all at once, and you remember that biopics don’t have to fit some awards-friendly formula. They can actually be ambitious experiments, too.” —The Stranger
“Howl…is that rarity: a film that celebrates language. It’s a unique blend of documentary, feature and performance art…effective and at times thrilling.” —Seattle Times
