The Life of Chuck

Based on a poignant and atypical Stephen King novella, The Life of Chuck is told in reverse. It starts with a world on the verge, devastated by climate change: California has sunk into the Pacific, and the internet is down, likely permanently. In this turmoil, teacher Marty (Chiwetel Ejiofor) tries to convince parents that there’s still value in educating their children. Meanwhile, all over the city, curious billboards have started to appear, celebrating 39 years of “Chuck” Krantz (Hiddleston) - a total unknown. His life is gradually revealed in this very touching film, which riffs on Walt Whitman’s phrase, “I am manifold” in celebrating the myriad relationships, experiences, tastes and desires that make us who we are.
