What Is Chappaqua About?
The premise of Chappaqua without spoilers.
A semi‑autobiographical tale follows Conrad Rooks as he journeys to France for a drug‑withdrawal treatment. The narrative intersperses flashbacks to the early psychedelic scene in San Francisco, blurring hallucination and reality. Visually, Rooks mixes color, black‑and‑white, and monochrome tinting, yet the film maintains a clear beginning, middle, and end.
