What The Machinist Is About
Brad Anderson's 2004 film follows Trevor, a factory worker who has not slept for a year. An accident happens at work and he is blamed. No one recognises the people he sees. The film refuses to separate the real from the delusion; the narrative reveals the guilt at the close and remakes the meaning of what came before. Christian Bale lost extreme weight for the role, which later fed a discussion about the health risks of such preparation. The image is cold and close to colourless. Who it's for: those who like psychological thrillers. Who it's not for: viewers avoiding disturbing images of the body; the film keeps it in frame throughout.
