Chronic
Town
Directed by Tom Hines
* NY PREMIERE *
96 min - 2008 - USA - English - Color
Driven by
his fear of being alone, a solitary cab driver named
Truman uses alcohol and drugs to distract him from the
realities in his life during a bitterly cold winter
in Fairbanks, Alaska.
After a bad acid trip and what
appears to be a suicide attempt, Truman winds up in
an institution where he must attend group therapy as
he attempts to put his life back together.
In befriending his fellow misfits,
particularly a stripper, Eleanor, and an elderly woman,
Elizabeth, whom he visits in a home as part of his “release
program,” Truman opens the door to a new world
and puts his best foot forward as he steps into the
cold.
