Howl

Howl directed by Rob Epstein
2010
★★★✰✰
So I knew nothing of Allen Ginsberg or Howl prior to watching this film.  I knew Ginsberg was a "beat poet" but that was it.  The film was interesting as it takes all its lines from court transcripts and interviews.  Essentially, every line spoken by an actor was said by the person he was portraying.  Kind of cool.  James Franco was awesome as usual and the animation sequences throughout the film were good.
