Remarkably effective treatment of the Allen Ginsberg poem which was first performed in San Francisco in 1955 and subjected to an obscenity trial in 1957. The film weaves scenes of JF reciting the poem in front of an audience, being interviewed, scenes reenacted from the trial and animated sequences interpreting the lines being read.
I've never cared for this poem but this film brought it, and its writer, to life. Nice work.
