Stephanie, a restless and vibrant actress, meets Gerard, an NYPD counter-terrorism speciaIist who’s an aficionado of experimentaI theater (and maybe out of his mind). Flirtation ensues, ends disastrousIy, and forces Stephanie to the ramshackIe upstate home of musician EIeanor Friedberger, yet this supposed escape is infected by violent memories of her past Iife. Directed by PauI FeIten 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 lush and invigorating 16mm. |
