Choke - trailer

In cinemas from: November 21 2008

From maverick author Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) and breakout new writer-director Clark Gregg comes the subversively comedic tale of Victor Mancini, con artist, sex addict, Colonial village re-enactor, angst-filled son, serial restaurant choker . . . and unsuspecting romantic antihero for our unsettling times.

Victor (Sam Rockwell), in an effort to pay for his once radical, now demented mother’s (Academy Award® winner Anjelica Huston) expensive care in a private hospital, engages in a brazen scam.  While dining in upscale restaurants, he deliberately chokes on his food, allowing himself to be “saved” by good Samaritans who grow so close to him in the wake of their heroic Heimlich Maneuvers, they lavish him with checks. His day job is no more conventional:  he portrays an indentured Irish servant in full 18th Century garb at a historical theme park.  And when he isn’t busy being a put upon Pilgrim, gagging violently or visiting the mother who doesn’t recognize him, Victor is attending sexaholic recovery meetings (or having forbidden encounters in the meeting hall bathroom).
