Here’s a little history to set the scene: Ginsberg will, a decade later, write Howl, a poem that famously pushed a lot of envelopes and a lot of buttons. Burroughs make for a merry band onscreen. The Three Musketeers of the Beat Generation, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William S.
Their passions run wild, they piss off their professors and one of them commits murder. Predictably, Ginsberg and his new buddies will get into a lot of trouble. Excited and uncertain, he is about to meet the young men with whom he will launch a new literary movement - while also coming to terms with being gay. New freshman Allen Ginsberg (Daniel Radcliff) has just arrived on campus. The setting is Columbia University and the year is 1943. Co-written with his college roommate, Austin Bunn, Kill My Darlings dramatizes a crucial episode during the birth of the Beat. Kill My Darlings (2013) is the debut film by John Krokidas. It’s also about what your focus is: Do you love going to the parties or do you love being on set?
