As
Allen Ginsberg talks about his life and art, his most famous poem is
illustrated in animation while the obscenity trial of the work is
dramatized
My
ratings
7.0/10
My
impressions:
Using
animation in the film highlighting the poem gives a different
perspective to the viewer and those familiar with the work.
Juxtaposed against the court case, the relevance of the words used in
the poem seem more apt and necessary.
The
court itself heard testimonies of experts in literature on the merits
or otherwise of the book. The landmark ruling for the book heralds a
new openness on what is considered obscene and appropriate for public
consumption.
Opens
the doors for others to venture and explore in their own words what
they wish to convey to others.
