It's quite odd to watch this film and realise that it's not that long ago that homosexuality was illegal in Portugal. Slap bang amidst the "Carnation Revolution", optimism was high in a country recovering from decades of dictatorship and the young were at the forefront of that new-found confidence. "Al Berto" (Ricardo Teixeira) lives in what was his family home with his mother, friends, and his boyfriend "João Maria" (José Pimentão). They live quite an openly Bohemian existence and it's soon one that gradually draws the unwelcome attention of their intolerant neighbours and the equally unsympathetic police force. The first half hour of this offers us quite an engaging look at the emergent enthusiasm for change in a beautiful country so long under a cosh, but sadly as the story continues it hits some well trammelled lines of domestic frustrations, familial discord and it falls into a trap of melodrama and rather dull stereotype. There's a bit of chemistry between the two leading men at times, but again even that peters out as their initially largely physical attraction to each other starts to wain. It is a nicely put together film, though, with effort going into the aesthetic but it just runs out of steam.
Fourteen-year-old Mo is a lonely, sensitive boy whose hunger for the rant and banter of buddies makes him prone to tread dangerous territories. He idolizes his handsome older brother, Rashid, a charismatic, well-respected member of a local gang, whose drug dealing enables “Rash” to provide for his family. Aching to be seen as a tough guy himself, Mo takes a job that unlocks a fateful turn of events and forces the brothers to confront their inner demons. It turns out that hate is easy. It is love and understanding that take real courage.

It's San Francisco in 1957, and an American masterpiece is put on trial. Howl, the film, recounts this dark moment using three interwoven threads: the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society's reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem itself. All three coalesce in a genre-bending hybrid that brilliantly captures a pivotal moment-the birth of a counterculture.
