easy for a film like this to get lost amid all the bigger films – or the festival winners – but I think that if people find the film, they will be surprised at how it makes them feel
Based on the Chuck Palahniuk book, "Choke" follows Victor Mancini (Rockwell), a sex addict who works as a Colonial War re-enactor and runs a con scheme that involves deliberately choking in restaurants and attaching himself parasitically to his rescuers, all to fund his mother's (Huston) care at a private mental hospital. He is forced to address his intimacy issues when he falls in love with his mother's doctor and discovers that he is unable to perform with the one woman he actually likes.
