The Life Of Chuck

Description

From the hearts and minds of Stephen King and Mike Flanagan comes the TIFF Audience Award winner 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.

The Life of Chuck is a singular and surprising cinematic experience: a story told in reverse, spanning one man’s life from his death at the end of the world to his quiet, wondrous childhood. Based on Stephen King’s novella, the film charts a path through global catastrophe, intimate memory, and transcendent hope, revealing how even the most ordinary life can be a universe unto itself.

At the center of this narrative is Chuck Krantz, a man the world seems desperate to thank. As the story opens, society is crumbling, cities are falling into the sea, and systems are breaking down, but across the collapsing landscape, Chuck’s image suddenly appears everywhere. Billboards, commercials, and signs thank him for “39 years of service,” though no one seems to know what that service was, or to whom it was rendered. Is he a symbol? A savior? Or simply a man whose life was quietly extraordinary?
