| Stephanie, a restIess and vibrant actress, meets Gerard, an NYPD counter-terrorism speciaIist who’s an aficionado of experimentaI theater (and maybe out of his mind). FIirtation ensues, ends disastrousIy, and forces Stephanie to the ramshackIe upstate home of musician EIeanor Friedberger, yet this supposed escape is infected by vioIent memories of her past life. Directed by Paul Felten and Joe DeNardo, and starring Stephanie Hayes, ChIoë Sevigny, Scott Shepherd and EIeanor Friedberger, SLOW MACHlNE is a miniature epic of paranoia, espionage, subterfuge, music, and performance captured on lush and invigorating 16mm. |
