Kill Your Darlings (John Krokidas, 2013)
Ever wanted to see Harry Potter get bummed?
Then this is the film for
you.
Less hysterically awful than
On The Road, though that wouldn't have been hard
. this being based a round the Lucien Carr/David Kammerer affair, it is at least not as tear your hair out-y as the excrable
Beat! Ben Foster (what, him from
The Mechanic? Playing Burroughs?
William Burroughs? well, actually....) acquits himself reasonably, as I always imagined that WSB at that age would have been "like that", though the end montage of the real protagonists overlaid with a Libertines song belonged in the bin. A curio for students of the era.
