‘Tracks’ film gets 4K restoration screening at Roxy Cinema
On Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11 at 7:00pm, the Roxy Cinema will host a screening of the 4K restoration of Tracks at 2 Avenue of the Americas, Cellar Level, New York, NY 10013. The 1976 film marks its return to the big screen with this presentation timed to the national holiday.
Tracks runs 92 minutes and was produced in the United States in 1976.
The principal cast includes Dennis Hopper as the central sergeant, alongside Taryn Power and Dean Stockwell.
Henry Jaglom wrote and directed the film. Paul Glickman served as cinematographer and Zack Norman produced.
The story follows a sergeant returned from Vietnam who accompanies a comrade’s body for burial while crossing America by train. Haunted by hallucinations of terror, the soldier becomes involved with various passengers, actual and imagined. Dean Stockwell and newcomer Taryn Power, daughter of Tyrone, join Hopper in a fractured, loose-limbed journey through postwar trauma, sexual tension, and a country that can’t quite face its own demons.
J. Hoberman described the production as visceral and discomforting, calling it both a terminal road film and the first post-Vietnam movie. Variety called it an incisive, revelatory film.
Tracks was an official selection of Semaine de la Critique at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival.
Henry Jaglom, who lived from 1938 to 2025, began his filmmaking career in the cutting room when he and Jack Nicholson helped edit Dennis Hopper’s 1969 hit Easy Rider. His first film as a writer and director, the 1971 release A Safe Place, drew acclaim from Anais Nin, who said Henry Jaglom is the magician of American cinema. Jaglom went on to write and direct twenty more films and carve a path through the New American Cinema entirely his own. In 2013 Metropolitan Books, an imprint of Henry Holt and Company, released the book My Lunches With Orson: Conversations Between Henry Jaglom and Orson Welles.
The post-screening Q&A features Sabrina Jaglom and Justin LaLiberty. The event begins at 7:00pm on Wednesday, November 11 at the Roxy Cinema location in New York. Attendees can purchase tickets through the venue website for this Veterans Day presentation of the restored print.
