Preview: THE LIFE OF CHUCK

In the organizer's words:

With Tom Hiddleston. Fantasy drama by Mike Flanagan.

Who is Chuck? The world is ending, California is sinking into the sea, the internet is collapsing - but in a small American town, the main thing is gratitude towards Charles "Chuck" Krantz (Tom Hiddleston), an ordinary accountant whose face smiles kindly at everyone from billboards and television. Who is this man that nobody really seems to know? A mystery that goes back a long way and raises one question above all: can the fate of one person change the whole world?

With THE LIFE OF CHUCK, mystery specialist Mike Flanagan presents an extraordinary and deeply moving adaptation of Stephen King's short story of the same name - a gripping, life-affirming drama that won the coveted Audience Award at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival. And rightly so, because Flanagan achieves a rare, cross-genre feat here: he skillfully combines the mystery of Stephen King's original with the universal questions of life and finds magic and warmth in the melancholy of our existence.

From the hearts and minds of Stephen King and Mike Flanagan comes THE LIFE OF CHUCK, the extraordinary story of an ordinary man. This unforgettable, genre-bending tale celebrates the life of Charles 'Chuck' Krantz as he experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us.
