| Summary |
James Franco delivers a career-defining performance as poet Allen Ginsberg. Through his search for personal and creative expression, Ginsberg writes *Howl*, and must contend with attorney Jake Ehrlich (Jon Hamm) during *Howl’s* bizarre obscenity trial. Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize - Dramatic at the **Sundance Film Festival**. Nominated for the Golden Berlin Bear at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. Nominated for Outstanding Film - Limited Release at the **GLAAD Media Awards**. *"This is a bold, inspiring piece of work, putting experimental techniques in the service of a heartfelt, insightful and surprisingly audience-friendly work of art." - Tom Huddleston, **Time Out*** *"It's sweet stuff, a portrait of an artist in turmoil, under fire and laying himself bare. HOWL captures 'Howl' beautifully." - Tom Long, **Detroit News*** |
