Howl Trailer and Film Clip
September 17th 2010 21:45
Howl is about how poet Allen Ginsberg's seminal work broke down societal barriers in the face of an infamous public obscenity trial. In his famously confessional style, Ginsberg - poet, counter-culture icon, and chronicler of the Beat Generation - recounts the road trips, love affairs, and search for personal liberation. His experiences led to Howl, the most timeless work of his career.
The movie Howl interweaves three stories: the unfolding of the landmark 1957 obscenity trial; an imaginative animated ride through the prophetic masterpiece; and a unique portrait of a man who found new ways to express himself, and in doing so, changed his own life and galvanized a generation.
In this clip with Jon Hamm questions in favor of Howl while Jeff Daniels is on the stand. David Strathairm prosecutes Ginsberg’s poem.
