Chappaqua (1966)
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.
"Chappaqua" is definitely not for all tastes. I can see many viewers being bored by this and I really can't blame them. Its an incoherent and often self-indulgent underground film about various forms of drug addictions. However, if you're a fan of the Beat Generation (in particular William S. Burroughs), you'll enjoy this more psychedelic take on their material. Several major participants from the movement even appear in cameos, such as Burroughs and Ginsberg. The cast reads like a who's-who of the pre-Woodstock Greenwich Village scene.
