Chappaqu

The Rediscovered Undergroun Classic Of The 60's

This controversial, startling and hypnotic mix of music and visual is a semi-autobiographical psycho-drama following one addict's journey from sickness to health, anguish to well-being. When Russel Harwick, a young, well-to-do alcoholic and junkie, heads to Switzerland for the Swiss Sleeping Cure, he enters a psychedelic world set not in reality, but in the explosive, delusional landscapes of the mind. Tormented during withdrawal by disorienting mingling of recollection and fantasy, Harwick experiences a life-affirming epiphany, which leads him from his nightmare.
