REVIEW | Howl (2010)




HOWL is the story of Beat Generation controversial, brilliant poet Allen Ginsberg, (played by multi-talented actor James Franco), and the obscenity trial in the late 1950s of his "Howl and other Poems": its literary merit questioned because of the poems' sexual expressions.

For those who love contemporary poetry, then HOWL is a delicious movie, the words bursting out of the screen and inspiration will explode inside you.

The poems, the product of Ginsberg's creative genius, backdropped with delightful animation, will embrace you, sing in your heart. . . HOWL is simply a pure literary pleasure bent on absolutely satisfying your wordlust. 


4.5 out of 5 stars
