I saw the film HOWL the other day at the 2010 Film Festival...
The film covers the trial surrounding the charge of obscenity (due to sexual content) of Allen Ginsbergs 1956 poem, Howl. The poem was eventually ruled as not being obscene, of having literally merit and went on to become one of the seminal works of the Beat Generation (along with work by Kerouac and Burroughs)
The above image is of Ginbergs and his love partner, Peter Orlovsky, the second image is a replication from the film
