Part 2/8:
Trevor Reznik, a factory machinist, has been plagued by insomnia for an entire year. This relentless condition manifests in a severe physical transformation, with Trevor losing an alarming amount of weight—his frail body constituting a visual testament to his inner turmoil. The film opens with Trevor attempting to dispose of a body, a shocking scene that immediately immerses viewers in his disarray. The figure in the carpet he rolls up is later revealed to symbolize much more than a literal body—it reflects the weight of his unresolved guilt.
