DVD Reviews of Chappaqua
DVD Review: Immersive Indulgence
Summary: 5 Stars
Love it or hate it, either way Chappaqua won't leave you unmoved. It's a journey that will mess with your mind, partly through the music and partly through the disturbing and confusing array of visuals. Chappaqua draws its viewers into a world of drugs and alcohol, allowing them to experience that confusing world without having to indulge in substance abuse themselves. The kind of film a serious student of cinema needs to watch at least once.DVD Review: Not Normal
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy it if you can, steal it if you must - this film is not normal!
Music is very much a part of this 1966 film. One of its many credits is to one "Phil Glass."
DVD Review: Watch it on LSD
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent music by Ravi shankar and a very nonlinear, trippy filmmaking style coupled with the spiritual journey theme of an addict, definitely condusive to the psychedelic experience.DVD Review: Bad Trip
Summary: 2 Stars
I was ready for a wild ride of visual hallucinations according to other reviews and felt this film really came up short. I was enticed by the fact that Burroughs and Ginsberg made appearences but I'd call them cameos. Burroughs' character is boring and Ginsberg and boyfriend Peter are jamming in Central Park singing Shamalama Ding Dong for about 30 seconds. The mythology of Peyote is touched on with Native American narrative but, come on, must the story be acted out with a woman in a Maxi dress walking along the banks of a river? She is supposed to be the mother of a trancendant mystical magical mind guide drug and it comes off more like a Dippity Do TV ad from 1967. The music by Shankar is great. I will give the film that. I spent way too much money on this DVD. A classic by no means. Not anymore anyways. Save your money for a nickel bag.DVD Review: Cult film with bizarre visuals-nothing more
Summary: 4 Stars
The film follows the mental journey of an addict as he checks himself into a drug rehab clinic in europe to overcome his dependence on drugs and alcohol. The film is basically one hallucination after another which may appeal to those who enjoy this sort of thing. The film is, in parts, fascinating to watch, especially the 'vampire' sequence. The appearance of Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs add to the 'sixties drug addict' feel of the film as well. Recommended to those who enjoy something different.
