The Howl

1970 · 93 min

A wildly absurd, psychedelic romp through bizarre encounters that feels like a satirical fever dream.

Overview: A young bride flees the ceremony with a stranger and, together, they set off on an epic journey though increasingly bizarre lands. They encounter talking animals and mournful exhibitionists, converse with a discoursing rock, journey through a surrealist's psychedelic hotel, instigate a prison riot, escape from naked cannibals living in a tree, and battle a wind-up midget dictator!
How it feels: Absurd, whimsical, satirical and campy. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Freedom, rebellion, identity, politics
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
