''[[The Machinist]]'' is a 2004 film starring [[Christian Bale]], directed by Brad Anderson (of ''[[Session 9]]'' fame). It's one part [[Kafka Komedy]] and two parts surrealist drama, playing on themes from (and, at times, directly quoting from) ''[[Crime and Punishment]]'', ''[[Taxi Driver]]'', ''[[Fight Club]]'', and [[German Expressionism]].
Trevor Reznik suffers from a severe case of insomnia: he claims that he hasn't slept in a year. He spends his days ignoring his landlady and compulsively washing his hands with bleach. He enjoys his regular visits to a sweet prostitute girl named Stevie, who absolutely adores him, and he finds a little bit of romance with airport bar waitress and single mom Marie. During the day, Reznik works at a factory where he sleepily operates heavy machinery. When the inevitable happens and someone's arm gets torn off, Reznik ends up in a emotionally destructive downward spiral and quickly starts losing his mind.
