No, your speakers have not
broken. There is no sound at the very start of
this trailer.
Conrad Rooks wrote,
directed and starred in this seemingly autobiographical
tale of an extended cold turkey session, undertaken
after 5 years of solid addiction. Sounds jolly!
I'd never heard of Rooks
but he appears to have been at the heart of the sixties
psychedelia scene if this movie's cameos are anything to
go by - Allen Ginsberg, Ravi Shankar and William S.
Burroughs himself all appear as actors. Far out,
etc.
This trailer has a
distinctly art-school feel about it - I have a horrible
feeling Chappaqua was some kind of trippy vanity project
for Rooks. I'd lay down money that there is no
coherent plot and dull, extended hallucination scenes.
Hey, it did win the Silver Lion Award for
pretentious self-indulgence at the Venice Film Festival...
Favourite bit: "I
withdraw from the case!" |
