PREVIEW SCREENING
SAT AUG 09, 4.40pm
Based on the novella by Stephen King, The Life of Chuck is a poignant, genre-defying journey through one man’s extraordinary life… told in reverse. Brought to life with affecting sincerity by Tom Hiddleston in the titular lead role and directed by Stephen King adaptation specialist, Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, Gerald's Game), this meditative and imaginative tale balances the intimate and the cosmic.
From his final days in a crumbling world back to the innocence of childhood, the film weaves together three distinct chapters that gradually reveal the quiet power and mystery of Charles Krantz (Hiddleston). As reality itself seems to unravel, we uncover the beauty and tragedy of a life filled with ordinary wonders, unexpected connections, and the enduring echoes of love, loss and legacy.
Starring Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Lauren LaVera, Karen Gillan, Matthew Lillard, Harvey Guillén, David Dastmalchian, Mia Sara, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Q'orianka Kilcher, and Jacob Tremblay.
“The Life of Chuck is not only the most successful screen adaptation of a Stephen King work, but also among the past decade’s most challenging and poignant cinematic affirmations of our shared humanness." Bill Newcott, THE SATURDAY EVENING POST
“A life-affirming masterpiece” INSESSION FILM
