The Machinist (M)

How long can the truth about our past misdeeds be held inside?

Christian Bale is a man literally collapsing under the weight of his own guilt in this remarkable, eerie journey into the twilight world of denial and possible redemption. Drawing from influences such as Hitchcock, Lynch and classic Twilight Zone, The Machinist is a claustrophobic, lyrical journey into mystery.

Throughout April, SLiQ flicks explores the notions of identity and façade with a series of films looking beyond the surface of normalcy and reaching into the darker currents of impulse, secrets and chaos.
