Chappaqua

Synopsis

Chappaqua is a controversial, startling semi-autobiographical drama following one addict's wild journey. When Russel Harwick, a joung, well-to-do alcoholic and junkie, heads to Switzerland for a "Sleeping Cure", he enters a psychedelic world set not in reality, but in the explosive, delusional landscapes of the mind. Tormented during withdrawal by a disorienting mingling of recollection and fantasy, Harwick experiences a life-affirming epiphany, which leads him from his nightmare.
