Continuing this week at the Ross: The Machinist, Undertow


now showing at the ross

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.

More information is available at the Ross website.
