James Franco stars as
the young Allen Ginsberg -- poet, counter-culture adventurer, and chronicler of
the Beat Generation. In his famously confessional, leave-nothing-out style,
Ginsberg recounts the road trips, love affairs, and search for personal
liberation that led to the most timeless and electrifying work of his career:
the poem 'HOWL'.
'HOWL' is
simultaneously a portrait of a renegade artist breaking down barriers to find
love and redemption, and an imaginative ride through a prophetic masterpiece
that rocked a generation and was heard around the world.
