JR WEEK AT UNL

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Continuing this week at the Ross: The
Machinist, Undertow
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
presents the psychological thriller from Brad Carpenter entitled, The
Machinist and Undertow, the newest film from talented
young director David Gordon Green.
In The Machinist Christian Bale
plays Trevor Reznik, a man who can barely tell whether he exists
anymore. He hasn't slept for a year and he is so thin he is practically
disappearing. He knows he is on the run from somebody--but he can't
figure out whom. Believing that he's the center of an evil plot,
he races from his job to his girlfriend to the local diner looking
for clues.
Undertow is a new, uniquely American dramatic thriller from
director David Gordon Green starring Jamie Bell, Josh Lucas, Dermot
Mulroney, and newcomer Devon Alan. The film is a rough-and-tumble
departure for Green, whose first two movies, George Washington and
All the Real Girls, drew worldwide acclaim for their quiet, lyrical
sensibility. With Undertow, Green marries action, dirt,
sweat, and drama as he spins a tale of the violent legacy between
two generations of brothers.
