5...et sært miskmask af sobert retssalsdrama, jazzy tidsbillede af 50’ernes ungdom og en anmassende psykedelisk visualisering af digtet selv.

Frequently asked questions
What is Howl about? 
In 1950s San Francisco, a young Allen Ginsberg, played by James Franco, is struggling to find his voice as a poet. He discovers his true calling when he writes "Howl," a powerful and provocative poem that becomes a manifesto for the Beat Generation. But with its references to drug use and homosexuality, "Howl" sparks a heated obscenity trial that threatens to silence Ginsberg's voice forever. Directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, "Howl" is a genre-bending film that blends biography, drama, and animation to tell the story of Ginsberg's fight for artistic expression and personal liberation. The film features an all-star cast, including Jon Hamm as Jake Ehrlich, Ginsberg's defense attorney, and David Strathairn as Ralph McIntosh, the prosecuting attorney. With its innovative storytelling techniques and powerful performances, "Howl" is a compelling exploration of the birth of a counterculture and the power of art to challenge societal norms.
