Movie Haiku:"I saw the best minds of my generation..." So begins Allen Ginsberg''''''''''''''''s HOWL which revolutionized both poetry & performance art in the supposedly staid ''''''''''''''''50s. Genre-busting film combines historical reenactment with brilliant animation into a HOWL PoemPic (not to be confused with a Ginsberg BioPic). Highly Recommended by Jan, but NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
