...different tack, Herba's I'm A Stranger Here Myself describes a boy's unmotivated need for an unspecified amount of money, and more properly investigates the relationship between actors, film, color, and light. Constantly in motion from interiors to exteriors in single hand-held takes, Herba's film makes an intense observation of how a given light setting will appear different under different conditions: the boy is walking down an overexposed street, he ducks into his car, the camera ducking with him, and is suddenly in perfect exposure...

Imaginative scene conception, beautiful unfiltered color, and excellent acting help make Chappaqua a highly successful exercise in therapeutic film autobiography...
