Chappaqua (1966)
Starring Jean-Louis Barrault, Conrad Rooks, William S. Burroughs
Directed by Conrad Rooks
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.
