Arts and Culture
Inspired by real-life events, this gripping drama follows Helen, a woman trapped in a suffocating routine, who yearns for something more. As she navigates a loveless marriage, a demanding job, and societal pressures, Helen's desperation drives her to a shocking act. Machinal delves into the complexities of individuality and autonomy, offering a poignant commentary on the dehumanizing effects of conformity. Machinal is a powerful expressionist drama from the 1920s about the dependent status of women in an increasingly mechanized society, based on the true story of Ruth Snyder.
