FILM REVIEW: Kill Your Darlings

(GayWebSource.com – Gay News & Press Network) – Posted by Jake Simpson – TheGayUK.com

The cinematic fascination with The Beat Generation continues regardless, following on the heals of Walter Salles’ take on Jack Kerouac’s ‘On The Road’, which the critics were quick to dismiss when it recently had a limited release in US theatres. We now have this new movie which, set in the mid 1940’s, is essentially a prequel to the movement that was about to begin. It’s Lucian Carr’s story, a central figure in Allen Ginsberg’s coming out, and the wittiest member of their clique at University, who ended up killing his obsessed older ex-lover David Kammerer who just wouldn’t leave him alone.
