K*ll Your Darlings (2013, 104 min., dir. John Krokidas)

Mainstream account of the college days of some of the early members of the Beat Generation (Lucien Carr, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac), their interactions, and Carr's killing of his long-time friend David Kammerer in Riverside Park in Manhattan. Daniel Radcliffe plays Ginsberg, Ben Foster as Burroughs.


"A mysterious Beat Generation footnote is fleshed out with skilled performances, darkly poetic visuals and a vivid rendering of 1940s academia in K*ll Your Darlings."

ALLEN GINSBERG (1926–1997) is a major poet of the Beat Generation. Copies of his HOWL poetry chapbook (City Lights, 1956) were seized by U.S. customs and the San Francisco police on 25 March 1957, provoking the cultural warfare that threatened to disrupt the placidity of postwar American suburban life. 70 years since the publication of HOWL, Allen Ginsberg is an established American cultural icon whose relevance is greater than ever.
