TRACKS, 1977, Rainbow Releasing, 92 min. Sergeant Jack Falen (Dennis Hopper) is returning home from Vietnam on special assignment: to accompany the body of his friend by train to California for burial. On the way, the mentally splintery Jack engages in nebulous conversation with a number of fellow train passengers, and the lines between reality and hallucination begin to blur. "Dennis Hopper [gives] the best performance of his career in Henry Jaglom's devastating psychological drama on the effects of the Vietnam war on the American psyche." - Peter Biskind, author of Easy Riders, Raging Bulls [35mm]Discussion following with director Henry Jaglom.
