This week on Cinema D’Amore, we dive into The Life of Chuck (2024), a quietly cosmic and deeply human adaptation of Stephen King’s novella, directed by Mike Flanagan. Told in reverse, the film traces an ordinary man’s life as it unfolds against the backdrop of something much bigger, and much stranger, than he ever realizes.
We unpack the film’s unconventional structure, its meditation on memory, mortality, and meaning, and how Flanagan transforms a small, intimate story into something emotionally expansive. The Life of Chuck is tender, unsettling, and surprisingly hopeful, a reminder that every life, no matter how small it seems, contains multitudes.
