| Stephanie, a restless and vibrant actress, meets Gerard, an NYPD counter-terrorism specialist who’s an aficionado of experimental theater (and maybe out of his mind). Flirtation ensues, ends disastrousIy, and forces Stephanie to the ramshackle upstate home of musician EIeanor Friedberger, yet this supposed escape is infected by vioIent memories of her past Iife. Directed by PauI Felten and Joe DeNardo, and starring Stephanie Hayes, Chloë Sevigny, Scott Shepherd and EIeanor Friedberger, SLOW MACHINE is a miniature epic of paranoia, espionage, subterfuge, music, and performance captured on Iush and invigorating 16mm. |
