Chappaqua (1966)
Directed by Conrad Rooks
Overview
Semi-autobiographical story of Conrad Rooks, who travels to France to undergo a drug-withdrawal cure. Flashbacks to the beginings of psychedelia in San Fran. Though initially confusing, as Rooks blends drug-illusion with reality, and cuts color with black-and-white and monochrome tinted shots, “Chappaqua” is conventionally constructed with a beginning, middle, and end.
