John Krokidas is the director of the 2013 biographical drama Kill Your Darlings. Daniel Radcliffe plays a teenage Allen Ginsberg in the movie, which is based on his time at Columbia University in the 1940s. The movie centers on Ginsberg’s relationship with fellow author Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, as well as the early years of the Beat Generation. The friendship and loyalty with Lucien Carr were very significant. When Carr is linked to David Kammerer’s death, the movie weaves together themes of innovation, revolt, and murder. The film celebrates the start of a literary movement and is hailed as one of the best for performances and emotional effect.
