The Machinist
is a magnificently unsettling film delving into the effects of psychological and existential trauma. Despite being very much set in blue-collar America, Dostoevskian motifs permeate the film - epilepsy, insomnia, hallucinations, guilt and redemption, fallen women, yadda yadda yadda. Watch it, if you haven't already.

I thought that was a picture of you there for a moment, but you claim to have put on an ounce or two now. I haven't seen this film. I shall keep an eye out for it.
Christian Bale apparently lost 63 pounds - 30 kg? - to play the role.
